Greetings from Antarctica

Reach for this book when your child expresses a longing for far-off places or starts asking what it really feels like to live in extreme environments. It serves as a gentle bridge between a child's imagination and the reality of scientific exploration, making the vastness of the Antarctic feel intimate and accessible through personal correspondence. Sara Wheeler shares her real-life journey to the South Pole through letters and photographs sent to her young godson. The narrative balances the awe of natural wonders, like penguins and icebergs, with the mundane details of daily life in a research station. It is an excellent choice for fostering resilience and curiosity, showing children that even the coldest, most isolated places on Earth can be sites of connection and discovery.
