On the earliest maps was a place at the bottom named “fog.” Myths of monsters/angels living below a hole at the end of the world still lures artists and adventurers. Once part of a warm supercontinent named Gondwana, today’s Antarctica is a shape-changer with a migrating pole, enormous lakes under miles of ice, and live volcanos. The only continent without a native population, Antarctica belongs to all and none of us. A declared international zone of peace, corporate, national and ecological interests are only the “tip of an iceberg.” Make sure Antarctica is on your radar.
