Polar Ecology

Polar Ecology is one ecologist's attempt to sum up plant, animal and environmental relationships in the polar regions. I was grabbed in Antarctica by Adelie penguins, incubating contentedly at - 20 DegreesC with unmelting snow on their backs, and by minute black insects basking at lOoC in tufts of moss, while winds at - 15 DegreesC swept past unheeded.
