Chapter 1: The continent at the end of the world -- Chapter 2: A brief history of an arduous discovery -- Chapter 3: Paleoclimate: looking for the importance of Antarctica -- Chapter 4: Survival lessons: Mars on Earth -- Chapter 5: Perpetually moving glaciers: where icebergs emerge -- Chapter 6: The Antarctic ice floe -- Chapter 7: Microbes -- Chapter 8: Ice, algae, krill -- Chapter 9: Life in the dark: a diversity explosion under the ice -- Chapter 10: Birds at the end of the world -- Chapter 11: Large mammals of the white continent -- Chapter 12: Climate change: not so isolated -- Chapter 13: What happened in Larsen? -- Chapter 14: Organisms and climate change -- Chapter 15: The ozone layer and Antarctica -- Chapter 16: Pollutants in a pristine place -- Chapter 17: The final resort -- Chapter. 18: Remote fishing grounds -- Chapter 19: Ecotourism and invasive species -- Chapter 20: The Antarctic Treaty -- Chapter 21: Antarctic bases -- Chapter 22: Living on an ocean-going icebreaker -- Chapter. 23: The last bastion of an unspoiled planet.

Having always been fascinated by these singular landscapes, Sergio Rossi reconstructs some of the episodes that have marked the exploration of these territories, such as the dramatic race between Amundsen and Scott to conquer the South Pole, and Captain Shackleton’s odyssey to save his crew from certain death. But also modern trips including his own to these remote areas, explaining many aspects of the current science and political competition that is underway. The book leads us on an entertaining overview of all the problems and opportunities that the planet’s most forgotten continent offers to humans. A remote mass of ice upon which our future as a species depends and which we cannot continue to ignore any longer.
