Zusammenfassung

Weiße Flecken im Atlas waren noch vor gar nicht langer Zeit der Magnet, der geographische Entdecker anzog, mögen sie ethnologisch, geologisch oder biologisch orientiert gewesen sein. Ihre Berichte gehörten zu der beliebtesten Volkslektüre. Manche von uns lesen sie heute noch mit einem geheimen Bedauern, nicht mehr in diese Zeit zu gehören. Wenigen aber fällt auf, daß uns der größte Teil der Erdoberfläche noch unbekannt ist und auf dem Globus weiß einzutragen wäre, nämlich der Meeresboden. Tatsächlich sind noch nicht die notwendigen Instrumente entwickelt worden, um die Meerwasserschicht über dem größten Teil der Erdoberfläche für genauere Beobachtungen optisch oder elektronisch zu durchdringen. Akustische Messungen liefern nur topologische Überblicke. Photographisch kennen wir einen weitaus größeren Teil der Mondoberfläche als von unserer eigenen Erde. Nur Momentaufnahmen sind von winzigen Abschnitten der Tiefsee gemacht worden, die sie als eine Wüste mit einer höchst spärlichen Tierwelt erscheinen lassen.

“The internal heat of a planet, mostly of radioactive origin, in theory would provide an alternative to incoming radiation though we have little precedent as to how an organism could use it.”

Hutchinson 1965
