Chapter 1The Continent at the End of the World

Rossi, Sergio

Pages: 1 –5

[Due to the heavy storm that continues to block us in the days after Christmas 2003, the captain of the Polarstern has banned the crew from going on deck. I look out of the bridge window of this icebreaker, the pride of the Germans, and realize that, even if I were well sheltered, a man like me...

Chapter 2A Brief History of an Arduous Discovery

Rossi, Sergio

Pages: 7 –11

[Sitting on the couch or on the floor at home, my family all looked forward to watching Jacques-Yves Cousteau on Sunday afternoons before the news. It was one of the few worthwhile programs on television in the 1970s, after a binge of Little House on the Prairie or similar, Fantástico, or the...

Chapter 3Paleoclimate: Looking for the Importance of Antarctica

Rossi, Sergio

Pages: 13 –19

[Less than 15 years ago, the prospect of understanding the climate millions of years ago did not seem credible to me, when we still do not understand our current climate. During the second Polarstern expedition (2003/2004) I met two Englishmen who were trying to understand the dynamics of the...

Chapter 4Survival Lessons: Mars on Earth

Rossi, Sergio

Pages: 21 –25

[I well remember Carl Sagan’s documentaries in which he explained the exploration to be carried out on Mars to find out (among many other things) if there could be life on that planet. The spacecraft landed, an unmanned vehicle came out, cruised around a specific area and carried out a series of...

Chapter 5Perpetually Moving Glaciers: Where Icebergs Emerge

Rossi, Sergio

Pages: 27 –36

[I like the Scandinavian legend that tells how, contrary to what southern cultures claim, the end of the world will be caused not by fire but by ice, formed in endless winters that will freeze even the seas. We always imagine flames and hardship from scorching heat, and it is hard for us to see...

Chapter 6The Antarctic Ice Floe

Rossi, Sergio

Pages: 37 –42

[For hours now the Polarstern has been encountering more and more ice as it moves southward. The first were pieces floating freely, gently rocked by the swell, then the ice was more and more compact, forming bands of a few hundred meters that alternated with the open sea. Now a continuous white...

Chapter 7Microbes

Rossi, Sergio

Pages: 43 –50

[When we think of Antarctica, in our mind’s eye we always see penguins, seals and whales. The large organisms are the ones that grab our attention, and we tend to despise the minuscule for being microscopic and insignificant. However, as Pep Gasol, a colleague from the Institute of Marine...

Chapter 8Ice, Algae, Krill

Rossi, Sergio

Pages: 51 –56

[Antarctica is undoubtedly one of the places in the world with the highest production of microscopic algae. Concentrations can reach more than 8 mg of chlorophyll per cubic meter in surface waters, thanks to the blooms, or population explosions, of diatoms or Phaeocystis antarctica (the two...

Chapter 9Life in the Dark: A Diversity Explosion Under the Ice

Rossi, Sergio

Pages: 57 –67

[We have already seen that in the water column in the Antarctic there are two well-defined seasons of production. This strong temporal asymmetry could be summarized as one highly productive period coinciding with spring and summer, and another when the light begins to disappear, putting to sleep...

Chapter 10Birds at the End of the World

Rossi, Sergio

Pages: 69 –78

[Waiting for me at the Polarstern heliport is the most senior pilot from the voyage that I made in 2003. I’m a bit puzzled, because in theory I don’t get to fly, which is a pleasure offered only in dribs and drabs, and only the day before I had been up in the air helping to transport materials to...
