Empire Antarctica: Ice, Silence & Emperor Penguins
ISBN: 9781619023406 / Angielski / Miękka / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Gavin Francis fulfilled a lifetime's ambition when he spent fourteen months as the basecamp doctor at Halley, a profoundly isolated British research station on the Caird Coast of Antarctica. So remote, it is said to be easier to evacuate a casualty from the International Space Station than it is to bring someone out of Halley in winter.

Throughout the year -- from a summer of perpetual sunshine to months of winter darkness -- Gavin Francis...

Die antarktische Region jenseits des Sudpolarkreises ist uns viel weniger bekannt als der entsprechende Erdteil auf der nordlichen Halbkugel. Und das ist auch ganz naturlich. Da tatsachlich die Eisbank im Suden sich...
