adventurous informative inspiring reflective relaxing sad slow-paced

4.25

Naira de Gracia relates her time as a field researcher studying penguins in Antarctica with compassion, humor, insight and a bit of nostalgia. She muses on climate change, lowered funding, the state of the ecosystems, love, isolation and much more while also describing the practicalities of monitoring hatching penguins and their chicks in one of the coldest climates on earth. It is a really interesting insight into a very niche, but important, job.
