Summary
Antarctica, the earth’s southernmost continent, was virtually untouched by humans until the 19th century. Many famous explorers journeyed there in the hope of discovering a land that always seemed out of reach. Oftentimes, they died along the way or never made it home.
This book will introduce readers to this desert—yes, desert!—continent that holds about 90 percent of the world’s ice. It also showcases some of the 200 species that call Antarctica home, including the emperor penguin, and explores environmental dangers to the continent that affect the entire world.
