Antarctica. The Melting Continent

Antarctica is huge, cold, and mysterious. This frozen continent is full of incredible stories. The secrets frozen in its ancient ice or buried beneath its massive mountains are only just beginning to be uncovered. Here, you can discover incredible wildlife, stunning landscapes, and the scientific achievements of scientists and researchers.

We will join the author on a journey through Antarctica, meet the people and animals, and learn how this continent is changing and what it means for our planet as a whole. We will encounter emperor penguins, orcas, and elephant seals. Let’s prepare for the cold and, together with brave polar explorers, explore some of the harshest landscapes on Earth. We will learn how scientists survive here today and what exactly they are doing to understand the history and future of our planet: from studying climate change to examining ice cores nearly a million years old.

The author created this book based on numerous interviews with scientists, scientific articles, and her own personal experience on the melting continent, while the artist enriched it with bright and expressive illustrations.
