Antarctica
Call of the Ice: Fifty Years of New Zealand in Antarctica
by David L Harrowfield
With the creation of the world's largest marine reserve just agreed and signed, a book about Antarctica is very topical.
David Harrowfield's book celebrates and commemorates New Zealand's 50 years of involvement in this remote but beautiful continent. He documents the experiences and opinions of the many New Zealanders who have worked there and highlights their impressive contributions.
For the many of us who have never been to the Antarctic (and are never likely to go) this book gives a rare insight into life in one of the most unforgiving and challenging environments in the world.
