A beautifully illustrated exploration of the icy landscapes at the
extremes of Earth From the icy poles to the deepest parts of the
oceans, humans have explored Earth's most challenging environments,
and have even journeyed on into space. But how did these places
form and what are the features that make them unique? How do humans
live and work in these harsh landscapes? Most importantly, how is
human activity impacting them and their natural inhabitants and
wildlife, and what does the future hold for them? Life at Extremes:
The Poles explores the wonders of Earth's polar regions - comparing
and contrasting the landscape and life of these two icy realms. It
reveals the unique ways in which people, animals and plants have
adapted to survive the freezing temperatures and long spells of
darkness and how summer brings new life to the Poles. It also
explores how valuable the polar regions are to life on Earth and
why and how they must be protected. Perfect reading for children
aged 9 and up. Titles in the series: Life at Extremes: Space Life
