| Summary |
Feel the salty kiss of sea mist when nearby whales exhale their startlingly loud 'ffffffffffffffffff' next to your boat. Sneak a peak a the secret harbor of Deception Island, where you can sail inside a restless volcano. Pay homage to intrepid explorers at their base camps, where objects remain eerily preserved a century later. This guide includes five authors, 30 specialists, a supporting cast of thousands of emperor penguins; expanded coverage of environmental issues, climate change and ways travelers can make a difference; complete pre-trip planning information for visits by air, private yacht, cruise ship or resupply vessel |
