TERRA AUSTRALIS
Between the 15th to 18th century A.D, a hypothetical land called 'Terra Australis' (South Land) appeared in the world maps.
Although the landmass was drawn on maps, 'Terra Australis' was a hypothetical observation by early philosophers like Aristotle and Ptolemy that the land mass in the North must be balanced out by land in the South.

DISCOVERY OF ANTARCTICA
![Page 10: Antarctica presentation](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102622/55d4d098bb61ebac0b8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
In 1820 several expeditions claimed to have been the first to have sighted Antarctica, the very first being a Russian expedition.
The first landing was probably just a year later when American Captain John Davis, set foot on the Continent.

ANTARCTICA QUIZ
![Page 15: Antarctica presentation](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102622/55d4d098bb61ebac0b8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

![Page 16: Antarctica presentation](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102622/55d4d098bb61ebac0b8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
This is the CROCODILE ICE FISH
• It survives at sub zero temperatures due to anti freeze in its body.
• They are unusual due to their transparent appearance caused due to 'Invisible Blood'.
![Page 17: Antarctica presentation](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102622/55d4d098bb61ebac0b8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Which breed does this cuteseal belong to?
![Page 18: Antarctica presentation](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102622/55d4d098bb61ebac0b8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
This is THE CRABEATER SEAL
• Despite their name, these seals do not eat crabs. They eat only krill (small crustaceans that look like prawns, shrimps etc.).
• They have specially adapted teeth so that when they gulp in seawater, they can strain out the krill.
![Page 19: Antarctica presentation](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102622/55d4d098bb61ebac0b8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

This is THE ROCKHOPPER PENGUINS
They get their name because they hop from rock to rock instead of wading in the waters like the other penguins.
![Page 21: Antarctica presentation](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102622/55d4d098bb61ebac0b8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

This is Sir Ernest Shackleton, an Irish polar explorer who led 3 British polar expeditions to the Antarctic.
He is one of the principal figures of 'The Heroic Age Of Antarctic Exploration'.

Polar bears are found only in the Arctic, not in Antarctica.
(Check with us on our awesome trips to the Arctic).

The female penguins lay 1 egg in June and spend the remaining winter in the sea. The males stay on land all winter, sometimes even without food keeping the egg warm.The female returns just in time when the egg hatches!
Don't you wish males of the human species could be as enterprising as that??
![Page 33: Antarctica presentation](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102622/55d4d098bb61ebac0b8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Antarctica is a continent enclosed by
a coldwater current circling a landmass so
large that the total area of France,
Germany & Spain would fit in it TEN

Polar Itineraries are designed to allow flexibility, to take advantage of local conditions or deviate from
planned activities.
![Page 37: Antarctica presentation](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102622/55d4d098bb61ebac0b8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Average Temperature December to February -6 to +10c
High Summer 20+ hours of daylight
Weather & ice set the schedule, not clocks!
Antarctic visits are concentrated on the ice free coastal zones from November to February
Operating standards are regulated by the International Association of Antarctic Tour Operators (IAATO)
Only 100 people at any one time maybe landed in any one place

HIGHLIGHTS OF SAILING IN JANUARY

Earlier, very little thought was given to luxury
onboard expedition ships
Older ships were used - often converted from fishing trawlers or
local ferries.
***
Then, Russian Research vessels became popular.
***
Basic accommodation with shared facilities.
***
Basic food and service.
***
No stabilizers.

STOP PRESS!
As a coastal voyage traveller, you are becoming part of United Nation’s World Meteorological Organisation’s (UNWMO) agenda to raise social awareness on how various human activities, affect climatic changes and the resulting distributing of water resources.
In all its voyages to the Polar regions, expert resource personnel deliver lectures to tourists, while experienced guides take them on shore excursions, to raise awareness of global warming and environmental issues in this fragile region.
![Page 60: Antarctica presentation](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102622/55d4d098bb61ebac0b8b46a6/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Before anyone is allowed to Land in Antarctica they have to attend the IAATO briefing, failure to do so
will result in no landings for the passengers.
