Description
How does it feel to be near the North Pole when it's so cold that a cup of hot water, thrown in the air, explodes into ice particles? What's it like to be somewhere even colder - the South Pole, where a refrigerator containing fruits and vegetables has to be heated? Come and explore these two places where few people have ever been. Life on the Ice is brimming with fabulous photos and frigid facts about working and living in these exotic frozen worlds.
