Huge, untouched glaciers, bizarre ice formations, clear air, majestically floating icebergs, glittering plays of light, deafening silence, natural works of art, crunching ice formations, a play of colors indescribable in words and thousands upon thousands of wild animals enchant every visitor to Antarctica.
Volume I – Photo travel report and guide for cruisers
The Antarctic mainland was discovered for the first time almost 200 years ago by the Englishman Edward Bransfield. Since then, the region has fascinated researchers from all nations and also tourists, who are increasingly making trips to Antarctica. The Falkland Islands, South Georgia, the South Orkney Islands, the South Shetland Islands and the Antarctic Peninsula are pearls of isolation that – when the pack ice retreats in summer – present an almost incredible biodiversity for around three months.
Volume II – Information on landing sites
The book aims to show you what awaits you there, which animals you can see and how to orientate yourself using the description of over 70 landing sites. This way you can familiarize yourself with the new world and what is special on the islands and in the numerous bays. Detailed descriptions of the most attractive and most frequently visited regions, detailed maps and extensive photographic material take you into the world between the Falkland Islands, South Georgia and the Antarctic Peninsula.
Get in the mood for the exotic world of glaciers and ice towers with the animals that live there while you’re at home.
