Antarctica: The Battle for the Seventh Continent



The kind of book that’s chock full of interesting facts that I’m tempted to bug Erika with. Did you know the weather at some points of Antarctica is similar to Greenland today? Did you know 50,000 people live in Greenland? Did you know ONLY 50,000 people live in Greenland? Did you know Antarctica is DEFINITELY full of minerals that are pretty valuable? Did you know that only 1% of Antarctica isn’t covered in ice?

A scholarly work that makes the argument: climate change is going to make Antarctica more accessible, it's chock full of natural resources, and the global community is not at all prepared for the conflict that's going to come along with that.
