      abstract = {This profile of Antarctica and its indigenous life traces  the history of regional exploration and the science  currently being conducted there while explaining how  Antarctica reveals key insights into the planet's  environmental future. Antarctica is the most alien place on  the planet, the only part of the Earth where humans could  never survive unaided. Drawing on her broad travels across  the continent, in Antarctica the author weaves all the  significant threads of life on the vast ice sheet into an  intricate tapestry, illuminating what it really feels like  to be there and why it draws so many different kinds of  people. With her we witness cutting edge science  experiments, visit the South Pole, lodge with American,  Italian, and French researchers, drive snowdozers, drill  ice cores, and listen for the message Antarctica is sending  us about our future in an age of global warming.},
