It may be getting cold outside, but it's nowhere near as frigid as the places Scholastic GO! is taking you this month! Join us on a tour of the Polar Regions to learn about these icy landscapes, meet the people and animals who live there, and follow in the footsteps of the Antarctic's most intrepid explorers. So grab your coat and strap on a pair of mukluks, it's about to get chilly!
