What to Focus On

  • The journey starts in Madras, 13.09 degrees north of the Equator.
  • The narrator travels over 100 hours by car, aeroplane, and ship.
  • Antarctica creates a feeling of relief and wonder on arrival.

  • Gondwana was a southern supercontinent.
  • It existed 650 million years ago and thrived for 500 million years.
  • The breakup of Gondwana shaped the present world map.

  • Antarctica is the coldest, driest, and windiest continent.
  • It stores 90 per cent of Earth’s total ice volumes.
  • The landscape has no common human markers.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

The chapter is only a travel account about reaching Antarctica.

Antarctica is important mainly because it is a beautiful and remote place.

The line about human civilisation being 12,000 years old is a scientific claim about the age of Earth.
