Do you find it hard to get out of bed in the morning? Imagine trying to get up during 24 hours of darkness in temperatures well below freezing, surrounded by strong winds and isolated for months at a time. Welcome to Antarctica in the winter. This timely book reveals how life survives the extreme conditions of this sensitive and hostile environment, from ancient bacteria and enigmatic squid to majestic whales and frostbitten scientists. Find out how scientists prepare for an expedition, how male Emperor penguins use their feet to protect their young, and what effect climate change may have on this fragile ecosystem. With unique blog extracts from experts in the field and stunning photographs throughout, Surviving Antarctica reveals the wonders of life on the ‘white continent’.
