The PI proposes to work collaboratively with a scientist, in a continuation of a long-term publishing collaboration by the two, to produce an illustrated book that will combine popular art and science in an exploration of similarities between volcanic features in Antarctica, specifically those in and around Mt. Erebus, with similar features on other planets in our solar system, including Jupiter's moon, Europa, and Saturn's moon Enceladus. The work will draw parallels between the disparate landscapes to draw the reader into an understanding of Antarctica's unique features as well as encouraging an appreciation of the Earth as a part of a larger planetary system.

PI提议与一名科学家合作，继续两人长期的出版合作，制作一本插图书，将流行艺术和科学结合起来，探索南极洲火山特征之间的相似性，特别是在埃里伯斯山及其周围的火山特征，与我们太阳系其他行星上的相似特征，包括木星的卫星欧罗巴和土星的卫星土卫二。这部作品将在不同的景观之间画出相似之处，以吸引读者了解南极洲的独特特征，并鼓励人们将地球作为更大的行星系统的一部分加以欣赏。
