Antarctica, the ice-covered continent set in almost 14 million square kilometres in the South Pole, is one of the places that symbolize "the end of the earth" in this series. These places are remote and often difficult to reach, and they also represent a disappearing wilderness. Each title shows the unique qualities of the region. Topics include the ancient and prehistoric shaping of the place, its human culture, the wildlife, the changes wrought through invasion from outside communities, and what the future holds for the region.
