‘The world’s geological history is trapped in Antarctica.’ How is the study of this region useful to us?
The study of Antarctica helps us understand the planet's past, present, and future, providing crucial insights into global climate changes. It remains the only place on earth that has never sustained a human population, thereby preserving its 'pristine' nature. Crucially, Antarctica holds the record of Earth’s half-million-year-old carbon records trapped in its ice layers. Studying these layers allows us to observe and analyze long-term climate changes. Inferring from these changes enables the prediction of future tendencies and the potential impact on our planet. Furthermore, Antarctica is a perfect place to study how slight environmental changes can have large consequences, aiding us in understanding biodiversity and ecosystem impacts. It imparts an understanding of the planet's intricate balance and the need for more sustainable human behaviour, vital for the survival of our species and others.
