B) 1000 A.D.
C) 1520 A.D.
D) 1820 A.D.

Answer 1

Hint: Antarctica, the world's southernmost continent and home to the South Pole, is a barren, ice-covered wasteland. The Antarctic Peninsula, which reaches toward South America, is visited by the majority of voyages to the continent. The peninsula's isolated terrain also provides a haven for a diverse range of animals, including a large number of penguins.

Complete answer:
Antarctica is a continent in its own right. It is the fifth-largest continent on the planet. Antarctica is completely encased in ice. Antarctica is the continent that encompasses the Earth's the South Pole. Antarctica is the world's coldest place. Winter temperatures are consistently cold enough to cause water to freeze. The temperature in the interior of Antarctica is significantly lower than that on the coastlines.

Antarctica was the last continent to be found, with the Fimbul ice shelf being discovered in 1820 by the Russian expedition of Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen and Mikhail Lazarev on the Vostok and Mirny. Because of its severe environment, lack of widely available resources, and remoteness, the continent was mostly ignored for the rest of the nineteenth century.

The first sighting of Antarctica is now widely accepted to have occurred on the 28th (possibly the 27th) of January 1820, during a two-year exploratory expedition around the world led by Captain Fabien (Thaddeus) Gottlieb von Bellingshausen on two Russian ships, the Vostok and Mirnyi, under the command of Captain Fabien (Thaddeus) Gottlieb von Bellingshausen to discover new lands for the Russian Empire.

Note: Parties to the Antarctic Treaty System control Antarctica. The Antarctic Treaty was signed by twelve countries in 1959, and thirty-eight countries have subsequently signed it. Military activity, resource extraction, nuclear explosions, and nuclear waste disposal are all prohibited by the pact. It promotes scientific study while also safeguarding the continent's ecosystem.
