The author was traveling in a Russian vessel, towards the coldest and driest region on earth, and stayed there for almost 2 weeks. The vessel was named The Akademik Shokalskiy which is a Finland-made vessel especially used to travel through the icy regions. He traveled through 9 timezones, 6 checkpoints, and 3 water bodies. He traveled 100 km in a combination of a car plane and ship. On the go he gives a glimpse of history . he said that initially, Antarctica and India were a part of the same landmass. They were a part of the Gondwana super-continent, which existed 650 million years ago. For 500 million years Gondwana thrived. later when the dinosaurs became extinct and mammals started to emerge, the continent war forced them to detach and departed. Then India started pushing north joining Asia, thus forming the Himalayas. South America started drifting to join North America. The drake passage was formed, but still, Antarctica was frigid. Antarctica is not like any other continent. It is the only continent to have almost 90 percent of earth’s ice. It has no trees or buildings. It has icebergs detached from the main ice which is almost the size of Belgium. Moreover, we lose an earthly sense of reaching here. 12 thousand years ago, which is just like a few seconds in the geological clock has had a humungous effect on the earth’s history. On the date when the humans started thriving, a battle for resources started. Which even led to the unmitigated burning of fossil fuels and the release of excess CO2 on the environment. The most debated topic in the world today is climate change. The increasing temperature of the earth brought up questions like will the ice in Antarctica melt entirely? , will the ocean currents be disturbed? Will this be the end of this universe? A way apart from it, the Antarctic is still a part of the debate as it remains pristine because of no human intervention. Antarctica is being referred to as the perfect place to study the changes in the environment as it has a simple ecosystem and has no biodiversity. Take the microscopic phytoplankton — those grasses of the sea that nourish and sustain the entire Southern Ocean’s food chain. These single-celled plants use the sun’s energy to assimilate carbon and synthesize organic compounds in that wondrous and most important of processes called photosynthesis. Scientists warn that a further depletion in the ozone layer will affect the activities of phytoplankton, which in turn will affect the lives of all the marine animals and birds of the region, and the global carbon cycle. In the parable of the phytoplankton, there is a great metaphor for existence: take care of the small things and the big things will fall into place. When they were moving back, the ship struck between the peninsula and the tadpole island. So the captain asked them to get down the gangplank and walk along. On the part walking, they found the seals climbing up the ice and resting, just like the stray dogs in our locality under the banian tree. Then finally after crossing 9 timezones, 6 checkpoints and 3 water bodies the author taught about the earth which can balance different ecosystems. He still wondered what if Antarctica again turns warmer. Think about it.
