by Li Hang
About This Novel
How far is Antarctica? 10,000 Nautical miles, 30 days sailing. The southern end of the earth, the end of the world covered in thousands of miles of ice, has polar day and night, glaciers and tundra. Vast, cold and mysterious, it is another world unknown to us. Therefore, we are eager to understand, eager to know its differences and its beauty. The author Li Hang is a member of the Antarctic scientific expedition team. He participated in my country's 31st and 32nd Antarctic scientific expeditions and was stationed in Antarctica for nearly 500 days without interruption. From the Yangtze River estuary to the edge of the Antarctic continent, from precious summers to long winters, from the aurora over the Rasman Hills to the creatures near the Dalk Glacier. What enables them to work and live in isolation? Why do scientific expedition members risk their lives to collect data on sea ice? These shocking phenomena, interesting encounters, and unforgettable personnel are all presented in this book. He said: "I trekked on the vast ice fields, stood under the deep and gorgeous starry sky and the aurora, and the power of nature shocked my soul time and time again, leaving me completely unable to resist. There is no doubt that Antarctica has shaped who I am now." It was Antarctica that shaped Li Hang today.
