A great addition for anyone preparing to voyage into the higher
latitudes... What stands out head and shoulders above the narrative
are the super and inspiring photos. So, as well as being good
reading material for those preparing to go to the far north or
south for the first time, it's also very interesting for those
who've already been there and done it – as well as for those who
prefer to travel vicariously... It is particularly good at raising
awareness of the key issues when venturing to these dramatically
beautiful and awe-inspiring regions.

This book is an inspiring read and extremely interesting even if
you are simply dreaming of heading to the great polar wastelands
rather. If you are actually planning on going there, then this
guide is absolutely invaluable.
