Antarctica: An Intimate Portrait of a Mysterious Continent | 
pickScience writer Gabrielle Walker reveals #Antarctica, from the human history/present to the animals to the science being done on land, underwater and from space. This was a totally fascinating book sprinkled with good humor (as well as some harrowing happenings) that I absolutely loved. So glad I finally got to it!

“...shivering curtains of light can fill the sky, or looping spirals, or flickering flames of green and purple, and candy-apple red. It feels as if they should be accompanied by dramatic sounds, the bangs of fireworks or the roars of rockets. But these are utterly silent, almost solemn in their dancing. And yet they can be comforting in their own way; as if in this remote and frozen wilderness there's something else out there that is alive.”
pickI loved this book! So informative and still beautifully written that it made me more obsessed with the icy world than I already am - definitely recommend. I also have a full, more detailed review up on my blog: www.theglobblog.wordpress.com 😊
