Antarctica
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Antarctica has been the heart of the Gondwanaland formed during the PanAfrican event (600 to 500 Ma) and remained so before the supercontinent started breaking up into present day continental fragments approximately 200 million years ago. For obvious reasons, therefore, this frozen landmass has continued to be of great attraction for geoscientists the world over. While Australia led the world in unraveling the geology of a part of east Antarctica a little over 100 years ago, the central Dronning Maud Land (CDML) region facing the Indian-Ocean – Atlantic Ocean sector (of Southern Ocean) remained unexplored till 1958 when IGY (International Geophysical Year) was observed and many nations started actively participating in scientific exploration of the frozen continent.
