Sir David Attenborough 'Sensational! The most concise and accurate account on the market.' Peter Harrison, top ornithologist 'For anyone Antarctica-bound, this is the book. Tony Soper's facts and Dafila Scott's drawings cover the essentials of all the living things you will see and introduce the drama of the stage itself.' Keith Shackleton
