~Person you wouldn't know~
This was James Cook, later Captain James Cook.
On Cook's first journey, departing in 1768, his mission was to chart the transit of Venus. Commanding the 'Endeavour', Cook went on to search for Terra Australis Incognita, the great continent which some believed to extend round the pole. He first came across New Zealand, which had already been discovered by Abel Tasman in 1642. He spent some months there, charting the coastline. Nearly a year later, he set sail east, becoming the first known European to sight the Eastern coast of Australia, in April 1770. He continued north, charting the coast in some detail, before returning a favourable report to England. It was this report which convinced the authorities to colonise the Australian continent with convicts.
On Cook's second journey which lasted from 1772-1775, he commanded the 'Resolution' and the 'Adventure' on an expedition to the South Pacific, disproving the rumour of a great southern continent, exploring the Antarctic Ocean, New Hebrides and New Caledonia.
On his third journey, commencing in 1776, Cook visited and named the Sandwich Islands, now known as Hawaii, and unsuccessfully sought a northwest passage along the coast of North America. On his way back to England, he stopped at Hawaii again. After a boat was stolen by natives, he and his crew had an altercation with the Hawaiians. On 14 February 1779, Cook was speared by Hawaiian natives. This was a tragic end to the career of a noble and courageous explorer.
The first of two spacecraft to visit the planet was Mariner 10, which has mapped about 45% of the planet's surface from 1974 to 1975. The second is the MESSENGER spacecraft from NASA, which mapped another 30% during his trip to Mercury January 14, 2008. MESSENGER is now in orbit around Mercury to complete the mapping.
Mars has 2 satellites that orbit around the planet. These 2 satellites are not man made. These satellites are naturally made of rock.
the goverment, people, and popular culture of the British Isles have a influenced people all around the world.
In my experience that would be around Oliver in the Osoyoos area.
Mariner 10 was a space probe launched in November 1973, which flew by Venus and onto mercury. It took about 5 months to get to mercury back then. Maybe with a faster rocket and more modern technology, a trip to mercury might be around 3 months long.

A dead albatross
the ancient mariner was an impulsive man. It was an arbitrary act. May be due to boredom or the thought driven action resulted in the shooting of the albatross.

In the light of the moon, the Mariner sees the water snakes. After spotting them, he blesses them and then recites a prayer. Once he prays, the albatross drops from around his neck.
After the Mariner kills the Albatross, a ghostly ship appears and its crew members force the Mariner to wear the dead Albatross around his neck as a punishment. The ship is then becalmed, leading the crew to suffer from thirst and eventually die, leaving only the Mariner alive to reflect on his actions.
Up your but around the corner
The Rime of the Ancient Mariner does not specifically mention Antarctica. The poem is centered around a mariner's harrowing tale of a cursed voyage at sea, including encounters with supernatural elements and moral lessons about respecting nature and all living beings.
