A review by mazza57
Empire Antarctica: Ice, Silence & Emperor Penguins by Gavin Francis

4.0

This was a brilliant portrait of a life lived in Antarctica. Gavin Francis takes a job as Doctor at an Antarctic station, although doctoring is the least of his activities. He writes well and his experiences portray the awe, delight and excitement of a young child as the interact with the world. I thought there was a little too much of the history of past antarctic travellers and not enough of his experiences otherwise this would have been a 5 star for sure
