Customer Reviews

Almost a definitive work on Antarctica.
If ever you have considered visiting Antarctica - for whatever reasons, this is the one book which will answer those questions which were, until now, unanswered.

It says much for this work - which is described as a voyage of images and reflections by four explorers and photographers, that the final copyright of the book itself is shown as belonging to the Smithsonian Institute. A sign of quality in itself. It would be easy to describe those images as "Outstanding" or "Stunning" - and so they are, but those words are too frequently used for lesser photographs.

This is a book which explains the Antarctic in a way in which it has not been explained before. It does so with an excellent mix of text and photography which, as I have said, answers those questions that until now remained unanswered.

If all you want is to know something about Antarctica - then stop and pick up this book. You will not be disappointed.
