All About Antarctica

Omtale

Antarctica is a place most of us will never visit - and it's disappearing. Learn all about it before it's too late. Put on your parka and snowshoes and get ready to embark on a journey to the far, far south. You could hitch a ride on a Sno-Cat, explore the majestic icefalls, hunt for meteorites and marvel at migrating whales - or just stay in for a movie and pizza. From colossal squids and active volcanoes to research vessels and cricket matches, there's a lot more to the South Pole than just penguins and icebergs (though there are also a lot of penguins and icebergs). Learn how humans survive in the coldest place on Earth and discover what surprises await in this fragile and fascinating world. Packed with hundreds of brilliant snippets of information, All About Antarctica is perfect for curious kids who love to ask lots of questions about the wonders of our world.
