No other continent on Earth has undergone such radical environmental changes as Antarctica. In its transition from rich biodiversity to the barren, cold land of blizzards we see today, Antarctica provides a dramatic case study of how subtle changes in continental positioning can affect living communities, and how rapidly catastrophic changes can come about. Frozen in Time presents a comprehensive overview of the fossil record of Antarctica framed within its changing environmental settings, providing a window into a past time and environment on the continent. It reconstructs Antarcticax2019;s evolving animal and plant communities as accurately as the fossil record permits. The story of how fossils were first discovered in Antarctica is a triumph of human endeavor. It continues today with modern expeditions going out to remote sites every year to fill in more of the missing parts of the continentx2019;s great jigsaw of life. KEY FEATURES * Copiously illustrated with magnificent color images * Provides an overview of the discovery and exploration of Antarctica * Gives a clear guide to the palaeontology of Antarctica * Includes contemporary issues of heritage and preservation * Outlines the possible major impacts of climate change
