The first consistent temperature measurements on the continent were probably taken during the 1896-99 expedition, called The Belgian Antarctic Expedition. Although sealers and whalers had been active during the 1800s and who gave many reports of 'land', they were not in the business of taking temperature measurements. Further, the first human to set foot on the continent could have been sealers from the American ship Cecilia, under Captain John Davis.
They landed at Hughes Bay -- about 64 degrees S, looking for seals. They stood on the beach for less than one hour and there is no record that they took the ambient temperature of Antarctica.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
