Summary:
"You may have heard that Antarctica is covered in ice, but did you know it's a desert? In fact, it gets so little precipitation that scientists believe the ice sheet has taken more than 45 million years to form. And you may be surprised to learn that mountains, volcanoes, and lakes that can't freeze are hidden within this frozen continent. Despite the harsh conditions, some animals thrive here! Discover extreme facts about Antarctica in this fun and kooky book"-- Provided by publisher.
