Foreword by Keith Shackleton. Indexed and Illustrated.
In this book wildlife photographer Eric Hosking has recorded two voyages to the Antarctic. The result is a technical and artistic triumph. Most of the species to be found in the Antarctic region have been photographed and our knowledge of these unique creatures is substantially enhanced by the outstanding quality of the photographs - over 100 of which are in full colour.
Bryan Sage, who has written the text, is an expert on the Antarctic region and his detailed account of the general topography and ecology of the area includes not only the Antarctic Continent, but also the islands around the Subantarctic Convergence.
This superb book, unique in its extensive coverage and lively approach, provides a truly marvellous chronicle of the fauna of the Antarctic and will prove irresistible to the wildlife enthusiast.
