Icebergs and Albatrosses (But Mostly Penguins)

Imagine a journey from South America's Cape Horn, through the Drake Passage (also known as the Sea of Hoces), and on to rugged and majestic Antarctica. You'll see stunning views - ice, snow, mountains, water, seals, whales, and penguins (plus several dozen other types of birds and animals). You might think that it is possible to get tired of those views, but the author disagrees. This edition is a collection of photographs taken during two weeks on a Russian icebreaker vessel, including time spent camping on Antarctica itself, sleeping in the snow. For the few that have experienced similar voyage, it's the adventure of a lifetime. For those who dream of making this trip someday, these photos will be a tantalizing hint of what is to come.
