A review by katmarhan
Antarctica by Kim Stanley Robinson
4.0
8/10
An intimate, dynamic portrait of Antarctica, chock full of history, science, and ecological and social commentary, all of which occasionally gets in the way of some engaging characters and interesting storylines. No one can say that author Kim Stanley Robinson doesn't do his homework; the research was extensive, including time spent on the icy continent itself. A thought-provoking read, even almost 20 years after it was first published.
