 Antarctic Wildlife is the definitive identification guide to the birds and marine mammals of the Antarctic Peninsula, Drake Passage and Beagle Channel. This easy-to-use photographic field guide enables visitors to this unique region of the world - newcomer and seasoned traveller alike - to identify with confidence the penguins, whales, seals, seabirds and other stunning wildlife they encounter on their journey.

Full-colour photographs show typical views of each species of bird or marine mammal, together with the terrestrial plants likely to be seen. Detailed species accounts describe key identification features, give tips on where to look, and highlight interesting facts. This one-of-a-kind guide also includes introductory chapters that cover the wildlife of each Antarctic environment by season, as well as information on tourism and Antarctic cruising that will help visitors get the most from their trip.

Antarctic Wildlife is a must-have photographic guide for travellers taking the standard cruise from Ushuaia, Argentina, to the great white continent, and for anyone interested in the diverse wildlife found in this remote part of the world.

 

 James Lowen is a wildlife writer, photographer and lecturer. An Antarctic naturalist guide for Polar Star Expeditions, he lives in Argentina.
