Book Reviews of Antarctica: A Guide to the Wildlife, 4th (Bradt Guides)
Book Review: Excellent Guide
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent guide to the wildlife in Antarctica. Great drawings of the animals and descriptions. It only deals with wildlife south of the Antarctic convergence, so if you are looking for a book which covers all species of penguin, this isn't it. It has a map on the inside cover and maps for each species and where it can be found. It also has a brief history of the wildlife after discovery and the hunting which took place. My only gripe is that I would have liked the maps for each species to be more specific.
The book is small and not very thick, so very easy to carry around on the boat or in your backpack.
This book made me even more excited about going to Antarctica, if that's at all possible!!
