The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The term Antarctic, referring to the opposite of the Arctic Circle, was coined by Marinus of Tyre in the 2nd century AD.
- The rounding of the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Horn in the 15th and 16th centuries proved that Terra Australis Incognita, if it existed, was a continent in its own right.
- In 1773, James Cook and his crew crossed the Antarctic Circle for the first time.
