Description
Antarctica is a place none of us are likely to visit--and it's disappearing. Learn all about it before it's too late. Put on your parka and snowshoes and get ready to embark on a journey to the way, way south. You could hitch a ride on a Sno-Cat, explore the majestic icefalls, hunt for meteorites, and marvel at migrating whales--or just stay in for a movie and pizza. From colossal squids and active volcanos to research vessels and cricket matches, there's a lot more to the south pole than just penguins and icebergs--though there are also a lot of penguins and icebergs. Learn how humans survive in the coldest place on Earth and discover what surprises await in this fragile and fascinating world that most will never see. Did you know:- McMurdo station has pizza available 24hrs a day. There's even a pizza hotline to call ahead and request your favorite toppings!
- There's an all-day, outdoor music festival held annually at McMurdo Station, called IceStock. Bands are made up of people who work at the station!
- A cat has a rock named after him! Lumus Rock, in the Wilhelm Archipelago in the Antarctic Peninsula, is named after Lummo (nicknamed Lumus), a cat that sailed aboard the Penola and was part of the British Graham Land expedition from 1934 to 1937.
- The UK's research station, Halley VI Station, has eight modules (known as pods) that sit on ski's, allowing the station to move to safer ice if needed.
