This ‘ice-breaking’ book collects the English words of the Antarctic and the
Arctic for the first time. These words relate to weather, ice and snow, auroras,
clothes, food, housing, social structures, wildlife, plants, politics, as well
as many other aspects of polar life. The terms are presented with scientific
precision, a helpful interpretative commentary and moments of whimsy.
Apart from Antarctica and the Arctic, the regions covered here stretch to places
as remote as the Faroe Islands, Iceland, Tristan da Cunha and the Falkland
Islands.
