"This guide is a must for (non-pointy-headed) visitors thinking of
going to Antarctica." --Nikki Landow, Independent
"This is a gorgeous book with all you ever wanted to know about the
Earth's most unusual and inspiring destination . . . Even those who
don't plan to go to Antarctica any time soon will love this
inspirational book." --Destinations
"Worth buying for the illustrations alone . . . some of the best
photographs of Antarctic wildlife I have seen. A pleasant change
from the standard 'bird standing in the water' shots of many field
guides . . . an excellent souvenir for any passenger to the area."
--Polar Record
