Antarctica is Robinson’s first novel published after the success of the Mars trilogy, published in 1997. It was written as a result of Robinson’s experience in the continent itself during a visit organized by the “Artists & Writers” program of the National Science Foundation in 1995.

Set in the close future at the time of writing (start of 21st century), it describes the adventures of a US Senator envoyé in Antarctica, who investigates happenings related to the upcoming renegotiation of the Antarctic Treaty and discovers local Antarctic cultures, either ferals living off the land or ecoteurs (ecological saboteurs) fighting against environmental degradation. It follows several characters from their own point of view, and is rich with passages on Antarctic history.
