Improbable Eden: The Dry Valleys of Antarctica

The Dry Valleys of Antarctica are one of the last truly remote places left on earth. With no cover of ice or snow, and no rainfall, these dry valleys are islands in the midst of the frozen ice of the Antarctic continent, a wonderfully strange environment of ice-covered lakes that hold some of the planets purest water, huge expanses of windsculpted rock, barren eroded land forms, and glaciers that intrude into the edges of the valleys. Access to this unique environment is extremely restricted, and has allowed only a limited number of scientists and tourists to visit this area. Improbable Eden is therefore, a unique book - a significant and beautiful addition to Antarctic literature.Green, Bill is the author of 'Improbable Eden: The Dry Valleys of Antarctica' with ISBN 9781877333071 and ISBN 1877333077.
