A really great introduction to Antarctology...

4 stars

Yes i did just make that word up.. This is a great book, full of excellent science and details that show a real love of the continent – though - and this is in no way a criticism of the author who most likely could not have known - a now rather infamous scientist features heavily in the book too. Overall a very good read. There have been some pretty nice advances in Antarctic science in recent years, would be nice to see this updated.
