Segesta!

My first Greek temple!   (As you might suspect, there aren't any temples perched on Antarctica's shores.)  Segesta temple is one of the best preserved temples in the world.  The Doric styled temple was built before 430 B.C.  and measures just over 60 meters long and 26 meters wide, built upon 4 steps with a total of 36 Doric columns, 14 columns on each side and six columns across the front and back.
