Shubin retraces his steps on a \"dinosaur dance floor,\" showing us where these beasts had populated the once tropical lands at the poles. He takes readers meteor hunting, as meteorites preserved in the ice can be older than our planet and can tell us about our galaxy's formation. Readers also encounter insects and fish that develop their own anti-freeze, and aquatic life in ancient lakes hidden miles under the ice that haven't seen the surface in centuries. It turns out that explorers and scientists have found these extreme environments as prime ground for making scientific breakthroughs across a vast range of knowledge. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Shubin shares unforgettable moments from centuries of expeditions to reveal just how far scientists will go to understand polar regions. In the end, what happens at the poles does not stay in the poles--the ends of the earth offer profound stories that will forever change our view of life and the entire planet.\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeil Shubin\u003c\/b\u003e is the bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eYour Inner Fish, The Universe Within, \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e Some Assembly Required. \u003c\/i\u003eHe is the Robert R.
