Antarctica as an Experience: The Last Great Wilderness on the Planet
by Roger Slade
Antarctica’s wealth lies not in animal, vegetable or mineral resources but in the continuation of its unique status as a peaceful, free, open, unmilitarised land of international co-operation, scientific research and unsullied beauty. Roger Slade, an Antarctic photographer and traveller of many years’ experience, considers it to be probably the most beautiful and awesome place any of us are ever likely to see in a lifetime of travel and exploration. Only around 150,000 people have ever set foot on the continent of Antarctica in the whole of historic time.
Join Roger in this beautifully illustrated ‘tour’ of the Antarctic Peninsula, the South Shetland Islands and also the sub Antarctic islands of South Georgia and the Falklands.
