Synopsis
The Arctic Ocean is the smallest of the world’s five major oceanic divisions. Natural resources can be found in abundance in the region. Facing overpopulation, resources shortage and pollutions, scientists have long tried to find a way out from the ocean, and the Artic Ocean is very likely an answer. 《北冰洋細語》 is the author Rebecca Lee Lok-sze’s journal on her collaboration with the Chinese Arctic Scientific Expedition team, exploring the region’s ecosystems and natural resources. Lee, the first Chinese woman to have visited all three extremes of the earth, revealed her feelings and sentiments as witnessing the great damages caused by pollutions to the earth. 《北冰洋細語》also tells the challenges of the survival of mankind and discloses an important role of the Arctic Ocean in the global climate change.
