Empire Antarctica: Ice, Silence & Emperor Penguins
Gavin Francis
The author fulfilled a lifetime's ambition when he spent fourteen months as the base-camp doctor at Halley, an isolated British research station on the Caird Coast of Antarctica. Following the penguins throughout the year, the author talks about the hardship of living at 50 C below zero and the unexpected comfort that the penguin community bring.
