Antarctica, A Guide to the Wildlife
Tony Soper · Dafila Scott
FIELD GUIDE · 2000 · 144 PAGES
Designed for the field, this compact handbook features
all the species of birds, seals and whales the traveler
is likely to encounter on a voyage to Antarctica.
It includes concise essays on each species, range
maps and masterful color drawings by Dafila Scott,
the granddaughter of Captain Scott. Someone was
bound to write this handy field guide and we couldn't
be happier that it's friend and colleague Tony Soper
-- a veteran expedition leader who is as congenial
as he is mad about birds.
