A visually stunning voyage

Have you ever dreamed about going on a scientific expedition to the North and South Poles? If you have, you will love "Destination: Polar Regions," by Jonathan Grupper. Published by the National Geographic Society, this book is directed towards younger readers. The combination of well-written text and beautiful full-color photographs make this book an outstanding choice.The book focuses primarily on the many different animal species of the Arctic and Antarctic regions: ringed seals, caribou, ptarmigans, Adelie penguins, grizzly bears, Arctic sea stars, and more. The text gives interesting facts about each species. And the photographs capture many unforgettable images: a narwhal's tusk breaking the water, a mother polar bear cuddling with her cubs, a lone Arctic wolf standing atop a frosty hill, and more. Both beautiful and educational, this book impressed me greatly.
