Scientists in the Wild: Antarctica

Scientists in the Wild: Antarctica invites readers aboard the research ship Noto to join real scientists as they track penguin colonies with drones, search for Shackleton's lost ship with a deep-diving robot, and drill ice cores to unlock the secrets of Earth's climate history. Marine biologist Helen Scales and polar geochemist Kate Hendry draw on their own fieldwork to show exactly how science gets done in one of the planet's most extreme environments. This is an inspiring choice for students because it demystifies the scientific process, showing that real research means curiosity, teamwork, and a willingness to work in the cold and the dark.
