1. JOURNEY TO
THE END OF
THE EARTH
By TISHANI DOSHI

ABOUT THE POET:
Tishani Doshi (born 9 December 1975) is an Indian poet, journalist and dancer

book Countries of the Body. Her poetry book A God at the Door has been
shortlisted for the 2021 Forward Prize under best poetry collection category.
She writes a blog titled "Hit or Miss" on Crickinfo , a cricket-related website. In the
blog, which she started writing in April 2009, Tishani Doshi makes observations
and commentaries as a television viewer of the second season of the Indian
Premier League. She is also collaborating with cricketer Muttiah Muralitharan on
his biography, to be published when he retires.

3. Akademik Shokalskiy
MV Akademik Shokalskiy is an Akademik Shuleykin-class ice-
strengthened ship, built in Finland in 1982 and originally used
for oceanographic research. In 1998 she was fully refurbished
to serve as a research ship for Arctic and Antarctic work; she
is used also for expedition cruising. She is named after
the Russian oceanographer Yuly Shokalsky.
For two weeks from 25 December 2013 Akademik
Shokalskiy was trapped in thick ice in Commonwealth Bay,
Antarctica, while operating an expedition for the Australasian
Antarctic Expedition 2013–2014. The scientists and
passengers were evacuated on 2 January.

4. GONDWANA
Gondwana was an ancient supercontinent that broke up about 180 million years
ago. The continent eventually split into landmasses we recognize today: Africa,
South America, Australia, Antarctica, the Indian subcontinent and the Arabian
Peninsula.
The familiar continents of today are really only a temporary arrangement in a long
history of continental movement. Landmasses on Earth are in a constant state of
slow motion, and have, at multiple times, come together as one. These all-in-
one supercontinents include Columbia (also known as Nuna) , Rodinia , Pannotia
and Pangea
Gondwana was half of the Pangaea supercontinent, along with a northern
supercontinent known as Laurasia.
The significance of Cordilleran folds and pre-Cambrian granite shields; ozone and carbon; evolution and extinction. When you think
about all that can happen in a million years, it can get pretty mind-boggling. Imagine: India pushing northwards, jamming against Asia
to buckle its crust and form the Himalayas; South America drifting off to join North America, opening up the Drake Passage to create a
cold circumpolar current, keeping Antarctica frigid, desolate, and at the bottom of the world.

5. HUMAN
IMPACT
Over the past 50 years, the west coast of the Antarctic Peninsula has been one of
the most rapidly warming parts of the planet. This warming is not only restricted to
the land but can also be noted in the Southern Ocean. Upper ocean
temperatures to the west of the Antarctic Peninsula have increased over 1°C since
1955. It has now been established that the Antarctic Circumpolar Current is
warming more rapidly than the global ocean as a whole. Studying climate change
in Antarctica is important because it enables scientists to predict more accurately
future climate change and provide information to politicians and policy makers.
The warming of the Antarctic Peninsula is causing changes to the physical and
living environment of Antarctica. The distribution of penguin colonies has changed
as the sea ice conditions alter. Melting of perennial snow and ice covers has
resulted in increased colonization by plants. A long-term decline in the abundance
of Antarctic krill in the SW Atlantic sector of the Southern Ocean may be associated
with reduced sea ice cover. Large changes have occurred in the ice cover of the
Peninsula. Many glaciers have retreated and ice shelves that formerly fringed the
Peninsula have been observed to retreat in recent years and some have collapsed
completely.

6. Students on Ice
Geoff Green
Geoff made his first expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctic
in 1994.
He was profoundly inspired by these cornerstones of our
global ecosystem.
He has since led more than 120 expeditions to the Polar
Regions & dozens of journeys to the most remote corners
of the planet
Geoff is the founder and Executive Director of Students on Ice.
An award-winning program that has taken more than 2,500 youth, educators,
elders, experts, scientists, leaders and artists from around the world on
educational journeys to the Arctic and Antarctic .
It supports initiatives related to youth, education and the environment in the
Polar regions.
