Secrets From The Antarctic Dry Valleys
After many visits to Antarctica and the Dry Valleys over a 35-year period, soil scientist Dr. Iain Campbell takes the reader on a journey into the coldest and driest part of this planet with Secrets From The Antarctic Dry Valleys. The unique features of the Dry Valleys lie in the long and complicated glacial history, and the extraordinary age and undisturbed nature of the land surfaces, which, with the severe cold and aridity, slow down all natural processes.
Illustrated with more than 220 pictures, the book outlines some of the processes that operate in this timeless landscape and produce the many strange features seen in the Dry Valleys. These include land surfaces and rocks shaped by wind, Mars-like landscapes, and, of recent date, some impacts from human activity.
