This interaction has led to the formation of many unique features over the Antarctic continent. Antarctica is now emerging as an important key in the understanding of global and environmental concerns. Its unique features have provided scientists with special opportunities to investigate the origin of the continents, pollution at the global level, ozone hole healing and changes in the global climate. However, lack of scientific data remains a major problem for researchers in many areas of Antarctic science. This book fills the gaps in the process of understanding Antarctic science. 410 0$aArctic region and Antarctica issues and research. 606 $aNatural history$zAntarctica 606 $aExtreme environments$zAntarctica 606 $aEcology$zAntarctica 606 $aClimatic changes$xEnvironmental aspects$zAntarctica 607 $aAntarctica$xEnvironmental conditions 607 $aAntarctica$xGeography 615 0$aNatural history 615 0$aExtreme environments 615 0$aEcology 615 0$aClimatic changes$xEnvironmental aspects 676 $a919.8/9 701 $aSingh$b Jaswant$cPh.
