Life Under Ice: Exploring Antarctic Seas (2nd edition)
by Mary M. Cerullo (Author) and Bill Curtsinger (Photographer)
Booktalk: The organisms that live year-round under the ice of the Antarctic Ocean are truly amazing. Enormous jellyfish and fish with blood like antifreeze are just a few of the creatures captured in their unique habitat by underwater photographer Bill Curtsinger. This new edition is fully updated and traces the impacts of climate change and ice-shelf melt on the abundant life in the waters beneath a frozen desert.
Snippet: By New Year’s Day, when the sun is overhead twenty-four hours a day, billions of microscopic single-celled floating plants called phytoplankton will be in full bloom, forming a thick sea soup and making underwater photography impossible.
