Exploring the Last Continent
An Introduction to Antarctica
This multidisciplinary book examines Antarctica, from its geological origins as it
separated from the Gondwana supercontinent, to Captain James Cook and crew, the
first recorded observation by Europeans, to its present as a research outpost protected
from energy exploitation, and a climate change bellwether.
The first part of the book discusses Antarctica s physical systems over time - the con-
tinent s geological evolution, its climate, weather and atmosphere, and its distinctive
oceanographic, hydrographic and glaciological features. This section includes chapters
on Antarctica’s geological history; its cryosphere and hydrological systems; and the Ant-
arctic atmosphere, including the role Antarctica plays in the global atmospheric system.
The second part of the book surveys Antarctica’s marine and terrestrial ecosy stems.
Among the chapter topics in this section are biological diversity of the Subantarctic
Islands; aquatic and non-aquatic terrestrial ecosystems; marine ecosystems of the
Southern Ocean, birds and mammals, invertebrates and fish of Antarctica.
The third part is devoted to the history of human endeavors in Antarctica and the politics
behind human activities in the Southern Ocean and on the continent, flic contribu-
tors delve into historical and social aspects of Antarctic exploration; the governance
approach which sets the continent aside tor peace and science; tourism; psychological
aspects of human endeavours on the Ice; and Antarctic arts.
The final part of the book weaves together insights in the physical, social and human sci-
ences to illuminate a discussion of current issues, such as climate change, bio-prospecting,
science collaboration, and environmental management. Individual chapters discuss the
exploitation of marine living resources; biological prospecting; geological resources;
renewable energy; regulatory challenges of commercial exploitation; the causes and
impacts of climate change in Antarctica; and the role of the Scientific Committee on
Antarctic Research (SCAR).
