Life Under Iceby Mary M. Cerullo
Marine photographer Bill Curtsinger has returned to Antarctica a number of times to photograph the animals and plants that survive in the ice-capped waters at the end of the earth. Mary Cerullo shares his story with us, telling what it's like to start a diving trip by cutting a hole in ice eight to ten feet thick, then diving into the chilly depths.
Bill's amazing photographs show us a strange and wonderful part of our earth, where some fish survive by having clear blood that acts like antifreeze, jellyfish and sponges and sea spiders grow enormous, the food chain is short, and even minor changes in conditions can affect the survival rate of baby penguins. A glossary and resource list at the end of the book continue the learning, and an excellent curriculum guide on Antarctica is available from the American Museum of Natural History.
