Human eyes did not see Antarctica until 1820 yet it had been known to exist since the time of Aristotle. Although it has been on our maps and charts and satellite photos for less than 200 years, it survived in our imaginations for 2,000 years before that. Among all the mythical and magical places of the world - Atlantis, El Dorado, the Fountain of Youth - Antarctica is the only one we have found so far. Its very existence is proof of magic.
