At the Poles

By Richard Spilsbury and Louise Spilsbury

Book Overview

No one lives on Antarctica other than scientists who study it and those who support their work. Many live at the McMurdo Research Station, but others may do their work in mobile stations, battling the cold, dry environment while trying to make fantastic science discoveries. Readers are introduced to some of the most extreme and fascinating STEM careers there are. From climate study to research on polar plants and animals, the research done at Earth's poles is incredible to read about. Full-color photographs show scientists at work as well as the modern technology they use to get their job done.
