Wow, sounds really good❤️ - "A modern polar adventure memoir blending personal travel w/the legacy of one of the most famous Antarctic expeditions - replete with gorgeous photographs & woven throughout with Robinson’s sharp, funny, and personal voice, prepare to take the best journey in the world."
"Amazing & unreal photo by Mat Bell of Australian Geographic - He huddled in a Zodiac boat in icy waters off the Antarctic peninsula and waited patiently for an Adélie penguin to propel itself from the water to the safety of an iceberg. He captured this penguin in an almost levatational-like state."
"A Snowy Sheathbill flies above a Chinstrap Penguin, which stands on lichen-covered rocks at the colony on Half Moon Island, Antarctic Peninsula. The snowy sheathbill is the ONLY land bird native to Antarctica, often stealing food from near penguin colonies (photo by Vicki Jauron, Getty Images)."

"A lonely iceberg floats on the Antarctic Channel, its gate-like ice entrance welcomes, a kind of homecoming perhaps: We sprang from nature, and now we might reenter into it. “We must not have the pretention that we are the only rational animal on the planet,” Salgado said."
“The amazing photographer, Sebastião Salgado, in his epic project, “Genesis” set out to capture Antarctica’s breathtaking beauty and he succeeded beyond even his own high expectations. Deception Island with its concealed hot springs is favored by Chinstrap Penguins."

"The courtship display seen here involves the penguins pointing their beaks toward the sky and flapping their wings, a behavior researchers call "ecstatic display"." Painting by Robert E. Fuller
Sounds interesting - "A stunning work of natural history, science and polar travelogue, Where the Earth Meets the Sky chronicles conservation scientist Louise K. Blight's journey to study PENGUINS in Antarctica, the most isolated place on the planet."
❤️ & totally agree with this 1860 quote - "I find Penguins at present the only comfort in life. One feels everything in the world so sympathetically ridiculous; one can’t be angry when one looks at a Penguin." John Ruskin, English polymath and writer 1777 Watercolour by John Webber, British Museum
