What is the significance of the title "Journey to the end of the Earth"? (in 100 words) (Reference : Class 12 Vistas, Journey to the end of the Earth)

Dear Student,

The title ‘Journey to the End of the Earth’ is appropriate as it describes an educational journey to Antarctica undertaken by a group of high school students. To learn more about the real impact of global warming and future of the earth, 52 students went to the coldest, driest, windiest continent in the world called Antarctica in Russian research vessel, the Akademik Shokalskiy.

The author calls it a journey to the end of the earth because it began 13:09 degrees North of Equator in Madras, involved crossing nine time zones, six checkpoints, three oceans and as many ecospheres. The author had to travel over 100 hours in combination of a car, an aeroplane and a ship. The journey being to the extreme south of the the earth, was really towards the end of it.

Regards
