Arctic Mysteries - Hot Ice and Cold Facts

Did you ever wonder what polar bears have for dinner? Or why marine biologists need to know how to count to a billion? Or what exactly are the Northern Lights?

In the Arctic, scientists study fascinating and highly unusual things. And what about climate change? In the Arctic, you can both see and experience climate change up close.

Did you know that you can actually help the scientists by reporting your own observations?

This partly interactive book will introduce you to some of the exciting research work made by scientists in Svalbard. They will tell you about their lives in the Arctic, and what they find beneath glaciers, out on the tundra and under microscopes in the lab.

Plus, you-ll never eat a Snickers bar again without thinking of glaciers!

The book is richly and beautifully illustrated by Sara Boccaccini Meadows.
