After many visits to Antarctica and to The Dry Valleys over a 35-year period, soil scientist, Dr Iain Campbell takes the reader of “Secrets from the Antarctic Dry Valleys” on a journey into the coldest and driest part of the planet. The unique features of the Dry Valleys lie in the long and complicated glacial history and the extraordinary age and undisturbed nature of the land surfaces, which, with the severe cold and aridity slows down all natural processes.
Beautifully illustrated with more than 220 pictures, in A4 landscape format, this book outlines some of the processes that operate in this timeless landscape and produce the many strange features seen in the Dry Valleys, including land surfaces and rocks shaped by wind, Mars like landscapes and of recent date, some impacts from human activity.
Iain will have books available to purchase: $45.00 cash only please.
