Journey to the End of the Earth

1 / 15

What is the relevance of the statement "Take care of the small things and the big things will take care of themselves" in the context of the Antarctic environment?

2 / 15

You lose all earthly sense of perspective and time here. The visual scale ranges from the microscopic to the mighty: midges and mites to blue whales and icebergs as big as countries (the largest recorded was the size of Belgium). Days go on and on and on in surreal 24-hour austral summer light, and a ubiquitous silence, interrupted only by the occasional avalanche or calving ice sheet, consecrates the place. It’s an immersion that will force you to place yourself in the context of the earth’s geological history. And for humans, the prognosis isn’t good.

Choose the option listing the elements that influence one to think of earth’s physicality.

  1. breakage of an iceberg from a glacier
  2. midges and mites
  3. a regularly seen avalanche
  4. summer light in the Southern Hemisphere

Students on Ice, the programme I was working with on the Shokalskiy, aims to do exactly this by taking high school students to the ends of the world and providing them with inspiring educational opportunities which will help them foster a new understanding and respect for our planet. It’s been in operation for six years now, headed by Canadian Geoff Green, who got tired of carting celebrities and retired, rich, curiosity-seekers who could only ‘give’ back in a limited way. With Students on Ice, he offers the future generation of policymakers a life-changing experience at an age when they’re ready to absorb, learn, and most importantly, act.

Pick the option that characterizes the celebrities based on your understanding of the extract.

  1. overachiever
  2. zealous
  3. miserly
  4. impassive

Why is Antarctica an ideal destination to understand the Earth's present, past, and future?

11 / 15

What characterizes Tishani Doshi's writing style in Journey to the End of the Earth?

12 / 15

Climate change is one of the most hotly contested environmental debates of our time. Will the West Antarctic ice sheet melt entirely? Will the Gulf Stream ocean current be disrupted? Will it be the end of the world as we know it? Maybe. Maybe not. Either way, Antarctica is a crucial element in this debate — not just because it’s the only place in the world, which has never sustained a human population and therefore remains relatively ‘pristine’ in this respect; but more importantly, because it holds in its ice-cores half-million-year-old carbon records trapped in its layers of ice.

Why is "climate change" described as a "hotly contested" issue in the extract provided?

This is so, because there _____.

13 / 15

What is the primary goal of the Students on Ice program?

14 / 15

To visit Antarctica now is to be a part of that history; to get a grasp of where we’ve come from and where we could possibly be heading. It’s to understand 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.

The writer says, ‘When you think about all that can happen in a million years, it can get pretty mind-boggling.’
