But how did these places form and what are the features that make them unique? How do humans live and work in these harsh landscapes? Most importantly, how is human activity impacting them and their natural inhabitants and wildlife, and what does the future hold for them?  Life at Extremes: The Poles explores the wonders of Earth's polar regions - comparing and contrasting the landscape and life of these two icy realms. It reveals the unique ways in which people, animals and plants have adapted to survive the freezing temperatures and long spells of darkness and how summer brings new life to the Poles. It also explores how valuable the polar regions are to life on Earth and why and how they must be protected.  Perfect reading for children aged 9 and up.
