　　According to the Sun on December 15, the South Pole toilet appears in a new book lifting the lid on the world's most majestic places to wee。
　　Author Luke Barclay from Somerset, UK, 33, visited some of the world's wildest locations to record the public conveniences for Good Loo Hunting - his second book on the subject。
　　Others in the book include a throne on the banks of Africa's Zambezi River - where sights include elephants bathing yards away。
　　A Grand Canyon toilet is perched in the heart of the giant geological wonder, while another in remote India, offers barren lunar-style landscapes。
　　Luke said: "I've had a steady trickle of emails from people tipping me off about the best places. The toilets don't just have to be in great places, they need windows so you can see the view as you go, so to speak."
　　据《太阳报》12月15日报道，南极公厕在一本关于厕所的另类新书中被誉为世界上最壮阔的厕所。
　　现年33岁的卢克•巴克利来自英国索默塞郡，他跑遍了世界各国，寻找风景最好的厕所，完成了《搜索上品公厕》这本书，而这也是他第二本同题材的书。
　　书中提到的公厕还有一个位于非洲赞比西河畔，人们在方便时，附近水域里野生大象的沐浴场景便可尽收眼底。
　　另外还有 "盘栖"在壮观的地质美景之上的大峡谷公厕以及地处印度的野外厕所。印度野外厕所周围一望无垠的蛮荒景象给人一种置身于月球表面的错觉。
　　“我隔三差五就能收到别人发来的电子邮件，他们会指点我哪里可以找到非同寻常的厕所。这些厕所不一定在奢华的地方，它们应该装上大窗户，这样游人就能在如厕的同时饱览周围的美景”，卢克说。
