Antarctica

Antarctica is the coldest, driest, and windiest continent on Earth. In this book, we encounter the world's largest glacier, the strongest winds on Earth, the toughest animal cubs, the southernmost volcano, and three-billion-year-old rock.

Today, the international community works together to protect this vulnerable natural environment. Discover this ice-cold continent through text and beautiful illustrations.
