Antarctica - Hardcover

by Arnold Zageris (Author)

Breathtaking in its superlatives, Antarctica mesmerizes visitors with its compelling beauty, awe-inspiring landscapes and imposing grandeur. No continent is its equal.

Antarctica has the heights, the winds, the climate and the aridity. Moreover, its ever-changing and elusive light can paint and transform the spectacle with often fantastical shapes and colours. From the delicate tingling sounds of tiny ice crystals, to the majesty of its towering peaks, and the ferocity of its relentless storms Antarctica animates, inspires, and humbles.
