Experience the wonders of the frozen land in this spectacular trilogy. The Crystal Ocean At the southernmost point on earth, ice particles known as diamond dust float like tiny fairies on the wind. Eventually they settle and, over thousands of years, accumulate to be packed down into the solid ice cap that covers Antarctica. From here the ice mass flows down to the sea in vast, slow-moving glaciers. At the coast, it spills out into bays, forming giant ice shelves and glacial tongues that break off as bergs and begin their journey around the seas surrounding Antarctica. Follow the progress of the iceberg and its inhabitants from its summer birth through to winter's night, when it becomes locked in the sea's icy blanket.
