The storm-tossed Southern Ocean and the inhospitable landscape of Antarctica combine to form one of the last true wildernesses on earth. They are also home to vast numbers of animals, from the tiny shrimps of the zooplankton to the penguins, albatrosses, seals and great whales for which this extraordinary region is justly famed. In this fully revised edition of Antarctica: A Guide to the Wildlife, Dafila Scott's sensitive illustrations combine with Tony Soper's lively text to create a unique guide and a book that will give lasting pleasure. Whether you are a dedicated naturalist or an expedition member in search of a deeper understanding of the continent, this is the ideal companion.
Tony Soper was co-founder of the BBC's world-class Natural History Unit and became famous for his pioneering wildlife programmes. He now leads expeditions to Antarctica and lives in Cornwall, England. Dafila Scott, grand-daughter of Captain Scott of the Antarctic, is an artist and zoologist and member of the Society of Wildlife Artists.
