The bitter cold and three months a year without sunlight
make Antarctica virtually uninhabitable for humans. Yet a
world of extraordinary wildlife persists in these harsh
conditions, including leopard seals, giant squid, 50-foot
algae, sea spiders, coral, multicolored sea stars, and giant
predatory worms. Now, as temperatures rise, this fragile
ecosystem is under attack. In this closely observed account,
one of the world’s foremost experts on Antarctica gives us a
highly original and distinctive look at a world that we're
losing.
