Anita Ganery: Shivering Antarctica and the Arctic

A Polar Encyclopedia Containing Everything That Comes to Mind When Thinking of the Antarctic and the Arctic. What comes to mind when you think of the Antarctic and the Arctic? Cold, ice, icebergs and glaciers, penguins, polar bears, Eskimos, polar explorers… That is correct. This book contains everything that comes to mind when you think of the Antarctic and the Arctic. In short, it is a "Polar Encyclopedia." Humans, who love to challenge the new and embark on adventures, have also shown great enthusiasm for exploring the Antarctic and the Arctic, regions untouched by civilization. This book begins with the stories of explorers who engaged in fierce competition to become the "first people" to reach the South and North Poles. We follow the arduous and perilous journey to reach their destinations, enduring tremendous blizzards where one could barely open their eyes and bone-chilling, brutal cold. There are people who have settled in these very regions: the indigenous Eskimos of the Arctic. The Antarctic is so unimaginably cold that humans cannot live there. It is merely a place where a few scientists stay to conduct research. Although it is cold, it is habitable enough for humans, so naturally, other creatures live there as well. From polar bears, penguins, Arctic foxes, and seals to the deep sea, isopods, Antarctic icefish, and Arctic terns, a diverse array of animals steadfastly survive, each possessing their own wisdom to withstand the cold. Among them, the lifestyles of polar bears and emperor penguins, introduced in detail in this book, are particularly fascinating. Let us now embark on a journey to the polar regions with this book.
