Tasked with studying the changing environment and wildlife, a team of scientists will set sail onboard the Noto to explore Antarctica. To get the job done, they will use drones to track colonies of penguins, board deep-diving submersibles to monitor huge melting glaciers, and drill to investigate ancient ice cores.
By studying the changing climate and what rising temperatures mean for the future of our planet, the team will discover practical ways we can help look after Antarctica and its unique ecosystem.
An incredible scientific journey around the Antarctic, packed full of fascinating facts and beautiful illustrations reminiscent of the Southern Lights themselves. -- Kim Smith, illustrator of 'Frozen Planet II'
This beautifully illustrated book transports you to Antarctica's stunning world of icy wonder and captures the essence of the Noto scientists' Antarctic expeditions to one of our planet's most extreme and fragile environments. -- Josy Bloggs, creator of 'Life at Extremes' series.
