For thousands of years, human beings ignored a large part of the planet's territories, landscapes and inhabitants, and on maps the unknown regions were called Terra incognita. Even in 1840, the seabed was a complete mystery. Thirty years later, scientists continued to defend that the sea covered the poles and in 1900 no one had yet managed to reach the stratosphere.
