Antarctica

Antarctica follows the crew of the Polar Star on their half-year research stay on the world's only uninhabited continent, studying penguins, whales, and seals, measuring ice depth, and charting hurricane-force winds. Journalist Mario Cuesta Hernando, who has himself traveled to Antarctica, also introduces explorers Roald Amundsen and Robert Falcon Scott. This is a striking choice for students because its full-page illustrations and firsthand research narrative make an extreme, remote environment feel immediate and explorable.
