Follow Coretta Scott King Honor-winning author G. Neri on an extraordinary journey to the end of the Earth in this captivating travel memoir that explores Antarctica through the curiosity, imagination, and wonder of a lifelong dreamer.
As a child, Neri dreamed of becoming an explorer. In Antarctica: The Land of Wonder, he finally embarks on the adventure of a lifetime, discovering a continent of remarkable extremes. Antarctica is the coldest, driest, windiest, and highest continent on Earth, a place where the sun can disappear for months and where visitors undergo specialised training before venturing into its harsh environment.
Through engaging storytelling, Neri shares his experiences among breathtaking landscapes, fascinating wildlife, and groundbreaking scientific research. Along the way, he encounters inquisitive penguins, sea angels, mummified seals, space-age robots, and countless natural wonders that spark curiosity and inspire exploration.
Richly illustrated with vibrant full-colour photographs, many taken by the author, alongside annotated comics and artwork by Corban Wilkin, this book brings Antarctica's mysteries and marvels vividly to life. Expanded back matter includes additional facts, historical insights, recommended resources, and answers to many intriguing questions about life on the frozen continent.
Perfect for curious readers, aspiring explorers, and anyone fascinated by the polar regions, this inspiring memoir celebrates discovery, science, and the enduring power of childhood wonder.
