    Journey To The End of Earth: Long Answers

    Uploaded by

    Somanya Kaur
    Antarctica holds evidence of Earth's geological history in its ice cores that contain records of carbon dating back millions of years. Its relatively pristine state makes it a valuable location to study the planet's past, present, and future. Observing melting glaciers and collapsing ice shelves shows the effects of global warming. The future of Antarctica seems bleak without action on climate change, as the melting of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet could raise ocean levels and disruptions to the phytoplankton from ozone loss would severely impact marine life and carbon cycles globally.
