Memories from Antarctica Book 5

Memories from Antarctic Book 5: This picture book is a record of a part of a cruise from South America to the Antarctic Peninsula: as far south as the Antarctic Circle. It is one of 5 such books covering the trip south and then north. Starting with a last view of Paradise Harbour, it shows the trip along Graham Land and continues to the Argentine Antarctic base Almirante Brown. Here we stepped onto land, the actual Antarctic Peninsula. An inflatable boat trip took us to the edge of a glacier where some ice eventually fell off, creating a slightly worrying wave. Onto the partially flooded caldera of Deception Island, then to Livingstone Island and a noisy penguin colony, seabirds and elephant seals, before heading back to Ushuaia past Cape Horn and into the Beagle Channel. It provides some insight into what could be seen on such a typical trip. Each photograph has an adjoining page with a brief explanation. It is meant to show what an average person could see on such a cruise: good weather and bad! As one of the world's last really isolated natural wonders, it is easy to get a huge range of photographs of the land, the ice and some of the denizens. The file size limit of the eBook format is the reason for 5 books. The original photographs (taken but author, and amateur, with amateur equipment) are very large and so need compressing to fit in the file limit. In this book three short videos are included of the many taken. If you have wondered what such a trip might be like, have a read. If you just would like see an amateur view of the Antarctic Peninsula as seen from the sea, have a read. If you might wonder what animals might be seen on such a trip, have a read. Ideally, have a read and get as much enjoyment as the author did in being able to collect these 'Memories from Antarctica
