by Sarah Fabiny

Explore Antarctica—the coldest, driest, and windiest continent on Earth—in this adventure-filled title in the Who HQ series.

Many famous explorers journeyed (and often died) there in the hope of discovering a land that always seemed out of reach. This book introduces readers to this desert—yes, desert!—continent that holds about 90 percent of the world's ice; showcases some of the 200 species that call Antarctica home, including the emperor penguin; and discusses environmental dangers to the continent, underscoring how what happens to Antarctica affects the entire world.
