    Summary: 
    "Author Leilani Raashida Henry, daughter of the first person of African descent to go to Antarctica, recounts her father's expedition while educating on the incredible geography, biodiversity, and history of the continent"-- Provided by publisher.
    Antarctica is the coldest, windiest, driest, and most remote part of the world. No one owns it; only peaceful and scientific endeavours are permitted. Henry delves into the geography, biodiversity, and exploratory history of the world's coldest continent through the diary entries of George W. Gibbs Jr., the first Black person to set foot on Antarctica-- and her father. Henry shares the importance of protecting and understand the landscape and ecosystem as climate change advances, and protecting the continent from mining and drilling. -- adapted from jacket
