Lots of wonderful photographs and fascinating commentary by the journalist Jim Mastro who spent more than 5 years living and working in the Antarctic wilderness. Wether this book is for yourself, your children or as a gift to a loved one, you and anyone posessing it will have hours of enjoyment savouring the fantastic photography and learning what happens in the Antarctic wilderness - it is a MUST HAVE!

It's cold, harsh and desolate. To photojournalist Jim Mastro, it's the most beautiful place on earth. Here is Antarctica - the frozen, once-inaccessible continent at the bottom of the world - in all of it's photographic splendor, with exciting personal anecdotes that take armchair travelers and future explorers right to the edge of the ice. Jim Mastro has spent more than five years living and working in the Antarctic wilderness. Antarctica: A Year at the Bottom of the World is his striking season-by-season account of one full year on the ice. In this breathtakingly beautiful book, Mastro describes in vivid detail, complete with extraordinary photographs, this strangely beautiful, vast frozen frontier.

Experience face-to-face encounters with pods of killer whales, deadly winter storms, colonies of Weddell seals and hazardous sea ice. Endure the lonely isolation during 4 months of utter darkness. Enjoy the anticipation and warmth of the world's shortest summer. Jim Mastro takes you close enough to hear the roar of the Antarctic wind and to experience the challenges and adventures that he and the other year-round human residents of Antarctica survived.

From the wondrous ice caves to the explosively brilliant aurora australis, Bird Island to the South Pole, Shackleton's Hut to Robert Scott's, from emperor penguins and fur seals to glaciers and the strange world beneath the ice, Antarctica is a vibrant panoply of natural beauty and man's influence on the ice. Mastro covers it all - photographically and in his own dramatic personal narrative.
