A Fragile Ecosystem on the Brink: The Extraordinary Wildlife of Antarctica and the Looming Threat of Climate Change

In the harsh, unforgiving environment of Antarctica, where bitter cold and months of darkness make it virtually uninhabitable for humans, a world of extraordinary wildlife persists. Leopard seals, giant squid, 50-foot algae, sea spiders, coral, multicolored sea stars, and giant predatory worms all thrive in these extreme conditions. But as temperatures rise due to climate change, this fragile ecosystem is under attack. In Lost Antarctica, one of the world's foremost experts on Antarctica gives us a highly original and distinctive look at a world that we're on the brink of losing forever. Through closely observed accounts and years of research, James McClintock paints a vivid picture of the remarkable creatures that call Antarctica home, and the mounting threats they face in a rapidly changing world. This book is a timely and urgent call to action to save one of Earth's most captivating and endangered ecosystems.
