(4) K-3 Continents series. The slight, somewhat choppy text gives an introduction to Antarctica, touching on geography, climate, landscape, animals, and people, and discussing scientific research and explorers. Clear, well-captioned photographs and maps support the text. "Fast facts" tell about the continent's highest mountains and other interesting tidbits ("The coldest temperature ever recorded was at Vostock Research Station...It was -128.6 degrees"). Reading list. Glos., ind.
