Journey to the End of the Earth Class 12 Question Answer | English Notes By Atul Sir। UP Board & CBSE
Journey to the End of the Earth - Pure Hindi Summary For Up Board
यह कहानी लेखिका तिशानी दोशी की है जो अंटार्कटिका (दक्षिणी ध्रुव) की यात्रा पर गईं। वे 'Students on Ice' नाम के प्रोग्राम का हिस्सा थीं जिसमें हाई स्कूल के छात्रों को अंटार्कटिका ले जाया जाता है ताकि वे जलवायु परिवर्तन को समझ सकें।
लेखिका कहती हैं कि अंटार्कटिका दुनिया का सबसे ठंडा, सबसे सूखा और सबसे तेज हवाओं वाला महाद्वीप है। वहाँ 90% बर्फ है और कोई पेड़ नहीं, कोई शहर नहीं। वहाँ जाना बहुत मुश्किल है। उन्हें पहले 100 घंटे तक यात्रा करनी पड़ी - कार, हवाई जहाज और फिर जहाज (Akademik Shokalskiy) से।
जब वे अंटार्कटिका पहुंचीं तो उन्हें बहुत अजीब लगा। वहाँ चारों तरफ सफेद बर्फ, नीला समुद्र और बहुत शांति थी। वहाँ समय का पता ही नहीं चलता। वहाँ 24 घंटे दिन भी होता है।
इतिहास के बारे में लेखिका बताती हैं कि बहुत पहले सभी महाद्वीप एक साथ थे - गोंडवाना नाम का एक बड़ा महाद्वीप था। 650 मिलियन साल पहले गोंडवाना था। फिर वह टूटा और भारत, अफ्रीका, ऑस्ट्रेलिया, अंटार्कटिका अलग-अलग हो गए। अंटार्कटिका आज भी वैसा ही है जैसा पहले था - बर्फ से ढका हुआ। इसलिए वहाँ जाकर हमें पृथ्वी का इतिहास समझ आता है।
अंटार्कटिका में हमें पता चलता है कि इंसान ने पृथ्वी को कितना नुकसान पहुंचाया है। ग्लोबल वार्मिंग के कारण अंटार्कटिका की बर्फ पिघल रही है। समुद्र का जल स्तर बढ़ रहा है। कार्बन डाइऑक्साइड बढ़ रही है।
वहाँ लेखिका ने देखा कि छोटे-छोटे पौधे (moss), क्रिल (छोटी मछली जैसा जीव), पेंगुइन, सील, व्हेल हैं। अगर क्रिल खत्म हो गए तो पूरा फूड चेन खत्म हो जायेगा।
प्रोग्राम के लीडर ज्योफ ग्रीन कहते हैं कि छात्रों को अंटार्कटिका ले जाने का कारण है कि युवा ही भविष्य हैं और वे जलवायु परिवर्तन को समझेंगे तो पृथ्वी को बचाएंगे। अंटार्कटिका हमें सिखाता है कि हम सब जुड़े हुए हैं और हमें पर्यावरण बचाना चाहिए।
अंत में लेखिका कहती हैं कि अंटार्कटिका की यात्रा ने उन्हें बहुत कुछ सिखाया - कि पृथ्वी बहुत सुंदर है पर खतरे में है और हमें इसे बचाना है।

Journey to the End of the Earth - Proper Summary in English Language)
SUMMARY IN ENGLISH (For CBSE Board)
This story is by author Tishani Doshi who went to Antarctica (South Pole) as part of 'Students on Ice' programme in which high school students are taken to Antarctica to understand climate change.
Author says Antarctica is the coldest, driest and windiest continent in world. There is 90% ice there and no trees, no cities. Going there is very difficult. She had to travel 100 hours - by car, plane and then ship (Akademik Shokalskiy).
When she reached Antarctica, she felt very strange. Everywhere white snow, blue sea and much silence. There time is not felt. There is 24 hours day also.
About history, author tells that long ago all continents were together - there was a big continent named Gondwana. 650 million years ago Gondwana existed. Then it broke and India, Africa, Australia, Antarctica separated. Antarctica is still same as before - covered with ice. So by going there we understand earth's history.
In Antarctica we come to know how much humans have damaged earth. Due to global warming, ice of Antarctica is melting. Sea level is rising. Carbon dioxide is increasing.
There author saw small plants (moss), krill (small fish-like creature), penguins, seals, whales. If krill finish, whole food chain will finish.
Leader of programme Geoff Green says reason to take students to Antarctica is that youth are future and if they understand climate change, they will save earth. Antarctica teaches us that we all are connected and we should save environment.
At last author says journey to Antarctica taught her much - that earth is very beautiful but in danger and we must save it.

JOURNEY TO THE END OF THE EARTH - IMPORTANT SHORT QUESTION ANSWERS
_Q1. Where did Tishani Doshi go and under which programme?_
_Ans:_ Tishani Doshi went to Antarctica (South Pole) under Students on Ice programme led by Geoff Green which takes high school students to Antarctica to understand climate change.
_Q2. How is Antarctica described?_
_Ans:_ Antarctica is coldest, driest, windiest continent. It has 90% ice, white snow, blue sea, silence, no trees, no cities, 24-hour daylight. Going there needs 100 hours journey.
_Q3. What is Gondwana?_
_Ans:_ Gondwana was a big supercontinent 650 million years ago where all continents were together - India, Africa, Australia, Antarctica were one. Later it broke and continents separated.
_Q4. Why is Antarctica best place to understand earth's history?_
_Ans:_ Antarctica is still same as it was in Gondwana time - covered with ice, untouched by humans. So by going there we can understand how earth was 650 million years ago and how continents separated.
_Q5. What is Students on Ice programme?_
_Ans:_ Students on Ice is a programme started by Geoff Green. It takes high school students to Antarctica to make them understand climate change, global warming and to make them future leaders to save earth.
_Q6. What does Antarctica teach about climate change?_
_Ans:_ Antarctica shows that due to global warming, ice is melting, sea level is rising, carbon dioxide increasing, ozone layer depleting. Humans have damaged earth. If we don't save, earth will be in danger.

JOURNEY TO THE END OF THE EARTH - LONG QUESTION ANSWER (5-6 Marks)
_Q1. Describe Tishani Doshi's journey to Antarctica._
_Ans:_ Tishani Doshi went to Antarctica as part of Students on Ice programme led by Geoff Green. She had to travel 100 hours - by car, plane and then by ship Akademik Shokalskiy.
Antarctica is coldest, driest, windiest continent with 90% ice, white snow, blue sea, silence and 24-hour daylight. She felt wonder and strange there.
She learnt about Gondwana - 650 million years ago all continents were one big continent Gondwana. Then they separated. Antarctica is still untouched and shows earth's history.
She also saw effects of climate change - ice melting, sea level rising, carbon dioxide increasing. She saw moss, krill, penguins, seals, whales. She understood that krill is base of food chain and if it finishes, all will finish.
Geoff Green's aim is to make students understand climate change by experience. The journey taught her that earth is beautiful but in danger and youth must save it.
_Q2. What is Students on Ice programme and why is it important?_
_Ans:_ Students on Ice is a programme started by Geoff Green, a Canadian. It takes high school students to Antarctica.
Its aim is to make youth understand climate change, global warming, ozone depletion by seeing Antarctica with own eyes, not just reading books. Antarctica is best place to understand earth's history (Gondwana) and future (climate change).
Geoff believes youth are future leaders and if they understand importance of saving environment, they will save earth. Antarctica teaches that we all are connected and human damage is harming earth.
The programme is important because it creates awareness among youth through experience. Tishani Doshi was also part of it and she learnt much about climate change, food chain, krill, penguins and need to save earth.
_Q3. What is the theme or central idea of Journey to the End of the Earth?_
_Ans:_ The main theme is climate change, global warming and need for environmental conservation, and understanding earth's history through Antarctica.
Antarctica is coldest, driest, windiest continent with 90% ice. It was part of Gondwana 650 million years ago. All continents were one then. So Antarctica shows earth's past.
It also shows earth's future - due to global warming, ice melting, sea level rising, carbon dioxide increasing, ozone depleting. Humans have damaged earth by using fossil fuels. Krill is base of food chain and if it finishes, all animals will die.
Geoff Green's Students on Ice programme takes students to Antarctica to make them aware and make them future leaders. Theme teaches that we all are connected and we must save earth. Youth must take action. The journey is eye-opener.
