Ergebnis für "James" in Arktis & Antarktis

From sealing ships to spy planes, secret bases to collapsing glaciers, White Silence tells the story of humanity’s strangest relationship with a place we still barely understand. This isn’t just a nature book. It’s a geopolitical thriller, a Cold War ghost story, and a climate countdown clock — all layered beneath a sheet of ice a mile thick. Because Antarctica isn’t empty.
