Why is Antarctica the place to go to, to understand the earth’s present, past and future?

The continent of Antarctica is full of secrets of the earth's past, present and future. Through the study of this continent, one may understand the reason behind the division of the supercontinent, Gondwana, into the present day globe. Its study may reveal the importance of mountains and rocks like Cordilleran folds and pre-Cambrian granite shields. Antarctica was also the part of the habitat of Dinosaurs in the pre-human earth. The future of the earth is dependent on  its present. In the continent of Antarctica, one can get a clear picture of the consequences of the depletion of the natural resources. The ice-sheets are breaking, and thus, global warming is setting in. Also, the beauty of the existing ice covered oceans is a source of inspiration to do whatever is possible to save and preserve its natural resources. Thus, Antarctica is definitely the place to go to understand the world.
