Why Are the North and South Poles So Cold?

Very few people can go to the coldest, most inaccessible places on the planet, but this book brings the North and South Poles right to students' hands. Earth's axis, seasons, and the curve of the planet are explained and beautifully illustrated. Icebergs, glaciers, animals, explorers, and scientists all come together to teach kids about the places farthest from the Sun's heat.
