Title information

Surviving Antarctica


David N Thomas
96 pages, colour photos.
Natural History Museum
 
Softcover | 2007 | £9.99 | approx. $20/€13

#165659 | ISBN-13: 9780565092177
This timely book explores how life survives the extreme conditions of one of the most sensitive and inhospitable parts of the planet, which has for centuries fascinated scientists, explorers and writers. Discover how male Emperor penguins use their feet to protect their young, why pulling out an ice core from beneath the Antarctic surface takes scientists just minutes in summer but up to five hours in winter, and how the effects of global climate change appear to be having a profound influence on the region.

Foreword by Ray Mears.
