From the book jacket:
Antarctica is the coldest place on Earth. Ice covers the mountains, the valleys, and even the sea. In this frozen winter world, every creature is waiting for summer to come.
When the sunny days arrive, a burst of new life begins. A mother Weddell seal finds a safe spot on the surface of the ice to have her baby. Nearby, a big emperor penguin works hard to get enough food for his newly hatched chick. The young animals must grow quickly, for summer in Antarctica is brief and soon it will be winter once again.
Antarctic Ice was published by Henry Holt in 2003. Unfortunately, it is currently out of print. Used copies are available on Amazon.
