Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book introduces the scientists who study Antarctica and those who support their work ranging from climate study to research on polar plants and animals. Many scientists 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. Photographs show scientists at work as well as the modern technology they use to get their job done. |
