In recent years, children's science books about Antarctica had received more and more attention. Some new books began to focus on setting, storytelling, and manga expressions. They abandoned simple encyclopedia knowledge introductions and instead constructed more interesting story scenes. For example,"Left Hand South Pole, Right Hand North Pole (Nature)" was an encyclopedia about the South Pole and the North Pole. It used a left-to-right comparison method to show the knowledge of ice sheets, ice shelves, icebergs, and so on as background knowledge. This book made the pages more lively and interesting through story-based scenes, such as the activities of the Polar Carnival, penguin pairs, killer whale figure skating, seal slide, etc. In addition,"The Last Continent: The Epic of Human Antarctic Exploration" was also a popular science book suitable for children to understand Antarctica. It contained knowledge about Antarctica and pictures suitable for children to see. In addition,"The Antarctic Cabin,""Expedition to the Ice and Snow World,""Antarctic Temptation," and other books were also children's books about Antarctica. These books brought children into the Antarctic world in different ways to understand the knowledge and stories of the Antarctic.
One great Antarctica - related fiction book is 'The Terror' by Dan Simmons. It combines historical events with elements of horror and mystery, set in the frozen Antarctic landscape.
Well, 'Endurance' as I mentioned before is really interesting. It shows how Shackleton's leadership was crucial during that sailing to Antarctica. His ability to keep the crew's morale high even in the face of seemingly insurmountable obstacles is quite remarkable. For example, when their ship was crushed by the ice, they had to live on ice floes for months. And the book vividly describes all these details.

There are indeed such fictions. They often explore uncharted territories of the Cold War. For example, a book could create a story where Russia was supposedly involved in a clandestine operation to influence Western elections during the Cold War through a complex web of spies and undercover agents. These fictions can give us a different perspective on that tense era, even if they are not based on proven facts.
'South Pole Station' by Ashley Shelby is another good one. It gives a more contemporary view of life in Antarctica through a fictional story, exploring the relationships and experiences of the people working at the station.
One interesting fiction about books is 'The Book Thief' by Markus Zusak. It tells the story of a young girl in Nazi Germany who steals books. Another is 'If on a winter's night a traveler' by Italo Calvino which plays with the idea of different books within a book. Also, 'The Name of the Rose' by Umberto Eco, a mystery set in a medieval monastery filled with rare books.
