Abstract: The volume collects essays by Italian and Argentine scholars belonging to different areas - historians, literary experts, geographers and biologists - with the aim of putting different problems and methodologies into dialogue through which to offer a multidisciplinary look at Antarctica, in a key both diachronic and synchronic. The issues addressed range from the geographical particularities of the region to their quality as an indicator of climate change taking place globally, from history to the geopolitical relationships woven around the white continent, from the literary representations it has been subjected to to the biotechnological potential of the territory.
