•Beautiful, eye-catching and thought-provoking content, addressing current critical issues of climate change

•Both authors are highly acclaimed and recognized in their field

"Wide-ranging and extremely well illustrated, this authoritative yet accessible book is a must for anyone interested in the Antarctic." - Sir Ranulph Fiennes.

"Richly illustrated and expertly written, this book reveals our least known continent in all its power and glory." - Michael Palin.

The Antarctic is the last continent: the last to be discovered, the last great wilderness and the last to be mapped - making it arguably the least known place on Earth. The continent's contemporary significance lies in its importance as a sensitive part of the global environmental system, influencing sea levels and ocean-current circulation in a warming world - but the history of the continent, be that geologic, or in relation to human ecology, is just as vast and fascinating.

The Continent of Antarctica is a richly illustrated account of the Antarctic continent, covering the physical environment, biology and history, as well as examining the future and environmental implications for the rest of the planet. The book draws on the authors' own experiences during many seasons of fieldwork on the continent and surrounding oceans. They use photographs and images from their own extensive and continent-wide collections and from the world-renowned archives of the Scott Polar Research Institute. Almost entirely wild and unspoiled this cold and remote land is clearly an inspiration to these authors and all who have visited it. The Antarctic continent is crucial for understanding and monitoring climate change and in this comprehensive tome one can see a considered and learned argument for preserving the world's last true wilderness.
