Frigid, remote and inhospitable – the polar regions seem far removed from everyday lives.
But these isolated frozen realms shape life on Earth far more than we realise. 

Ferrying between penguins and polar bears, Neil Shubin's new book Ends of the Earth reveals the polar regions as never before - What happens at the poles does not stay in the poles.
