Antarctica is the coldest, windiest, highest, driest, and most remote part of the world. ItÎs the worldÎs largest polar dessert. Antarctica is a true wilderness. Author Leilani Raashida Henry, daughter of George W.

Using diary entries from Gibbs' expedition, The Call of Antarctica takes readers on a journey to the rugged Antarctic landscape to learn its history, its present, and the importance of protecting its future.
