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.
Written by experts in their field, this fascinating book is full of amazing facts and discoveries. The Antarctic is a topic which is included at key stage 2 in the UK, so l am sure this book will stimulate children into thinking seriously about protecting our planet and the implications of climate change. It is well organized and easy to navigate; we are introduced at the start of the book to a team of scientists and then to their amazing ship, which is ice strengthened and ready for the extreme conditions it will encounter. The double-page spreads are filled with facts which will provide an excellent springboard for further investigations and projects on this incredible part of our planet. The authors are sisters and part of the team. Highly qualified, they present the facts about this part of our planet in a simple and concise manner. The book contains lots of fact boxes and an excellent glossary. An impressive addition to the present series, it would be a worthy investment for any class or school library. -- Godfrey Hall * Review in The School Librarian, Winter 2024 *
