t is true that worlds geological history is trapped in Antarctica. It is because 650 million years ago Gondwana land existed in the southern part of the globe where present-day Antarctica is situated. Gondwana land hosted a rich variety of flora and fauna. For 500 million years Gondwana flourished later landmass was forced to

separate into countries, shaping the globe much as we know it today.

Flora and Fauna present in Antarctica is a part of our geological heritage.

‘Take care of the small things and the big things will take care of themselves.’ Is a relevant statement in context to Antarctica in the modern era? Antarctica because of her simple ecosystem and lack of biodiversity is a perfect place to study how little changes in the environment can have big consequences, for example, Take the microscopic phytoplankton — those grasses of the sea that nourish and sustain the entire Southern Ocean’s food chain. These single-celled plants use the sun’s energy to assimilate carbon and synthesize organic compounds in that wondrous and most important of processes called photosynthesis. Scientists warn that a further depletion in the ozone layer will affect the activities of phytoplankton, which in turn will affect the lives of all the marine animals and birds of the region, and the global carbon cycle. In the parable of the phytoplankton, there is

a great metaphor for existence: take care of the small things

and the big things will fall into place.
