; This book divides Antarctica into eight ice-free regions and provides information
on the soils of each region. Soils have been studied in Antarctica for nearly 100
years. Although only 0.35% (45,000 km2) of Antarctica is ice-free, its weathered,
unconsolidated material qualify as "soils". Soils of Antarctica is richly illustrated
with nearly 150 images and provisional maps are provided for several key ice-free
areas
