13. THE JOURNEY TO THE END OF EARTH
LESSON INTRODUCTION
The lesson revolves around the world’s most preserved place,
Antarctica. Not many people have been there but out of the few
that have, Tishani Doshi is one of them. A south Indian person
who went on an expedition with a group of teenagers affiliated
with ‘Students on Ice’ programme who takes young minds to
different ends of the world. Thus, it gives an insight into how
Antarctica is the place you should visit to have a glimpse of the
past, present and the future in its realist form.
14. THE JOURNEY TO THE END OF EARTH
SUMMARY
he lesson begins with the author on a journey in a Russian vessel,
Akademik Shokalskiy. It was headed towards Antarctica. We learn
that the author has travelled about 100 hours in a car, aeroplane as
well as the ship. The main objective of this trip is to learn everything
in detail about Antarctica. Further, we learn about her two-week stay
there and what all is present there. The place stores 90% of the earth’s
total ice volumes with no trees, buildings, or anything. It has 24-hour
austral summer light. Moreover, it is covered in silence.
.
15. THE JOURNEY TO THE END OF EARTH
SUMMARY
This makes the author wonder about the time when India
and Antarctica were the same landmass’s part. We learn
about the existence of a southern supercontinent,
Gondwana. It existed for six hundred and fifty million
years ago. We learn that the climate back then was much
warmer and also sustained a huge variety of flora and
fauna
16. THE JOURNEY TO THE END OF EARTH
SUMMARY
All this was before the arrival of human beings. Moreover, for 500 million
years, Gondwana flourished. Thus, after the extinction of dinosaurs, the
landmass separated into countries, as we know today. Moreover, we also
learn about the reality of climate change. Similarly, the author believes that
to study the impact closely, one must make a visit to Antarctica.
After that, we learn about Antarctica’s ecosystem and how it lacks
biodiversity. Moreover, it is the place to observe if you wish to see what
consequences a little action can bring about in the environment. If the ozone
layer keeps depleting at the present rate, it will impact the lives of the
inhabitants of the area like the sea-animals and birds. Moreover, it will also
impact the global carbon cycle.
17. THE JOURNEY TO THE END OF EARTH
SUMMARY
We learn about the contributors to climate change, like the burning
of fossil fuels and more. All this is damaging the quality of
Antarctica and this may cause immense danger to human life.
Moreover, we also learn about it through examples of
phytoplankton. Finally, the story ends with the author observing
some seals sunbathing on ice. It makes her wonder whether this
beauty will be reserved for the years to come, or will the future be
catastrophic.

climate change and how it is impacting our lives and of other living beings
dangerously, it serves as a wakeup call to start working to make the planet a
