Description

Antarctica, the world's highest and most isolated continent, has so far remained a safe haven for unique and complex systems of marine and terrestrial life. Scientific studies there led to the discovery of a hole in the ozone layer and have increased understanding of the "greenhouse effect". This introduction to the continent describes its unique natural history and its role in determining the ecological future of the planet.
