Review:

Relatively few titles have been written on the natural history of Antarctica: this environmental study provides an important foundation for understanding the region and its natural history; from animals to the movement of ice. The basic compendium of details will prove accessible to both high school and adult readers with a special interest in the unusual region. -- Midwest Book Review
