![Antarctica's Frozen Chosen by Hazel Edwards](https://cdn.writerswrite.com/journal/oct03/antarctica_frozen.gif)
Bestselling Australian children's author Hazel Edwards was the writer on ice at Antarctica's Casey Station, and she brings her experiences to life in this crisply written eco-thriller. From the crack of the ice as the re-supply ship hits the side of an iceberg to the howl of the subarctic wind, the author makes you feel as if you were on a ship headed to the south pole, seeing penguins and icy water (which can kill an unprotected human in just a few minutes). The themes of eco-terrorism and genetic manipulation are explored in an interesting way which encourages readers to think about the issues raised: no easy answers are provided. The action is fast-paced and the characters are interesting, making for an exciting and very entertaining read.
