Arctic mysteries : hot ice and cold facts - research in Svalbard

Omtale

Ever wondered what polar bears eat for dinner? Or why marine biologists need to know how to count to a billion? Want to know why the Northern Lights are redder during the day than at night? Yes, there are Northern Lights in the daytime! But what are Northern Lights? In the Arctic, scientists study fascinating, fun and highly unusual things. And this ‘climate change’ thing adults keep talking about? In the Arctic, you can see and experience the changes. This book will introduce you to some of the scientists working in Svalbard. They will tell you about their lives in the Arctic, and what they find beneath glaciers, out on the tundra and under microscopes in the lab. Plus, you’ll never eat a Snickers bar again without thinking of glaciers!
