4.0 out of 5 stars First class book, filled with good facts and easy to read., March 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Antarctica, The Falklands & South Georgia (Cadogan Guides) (Paperback)

This book is a must read for anyone who plans to travel south of Argentina. The book has brief but satisfying histories of the area, discriptions of what difficulties and enjoyments polar regions offer visitors and masses of what to do and how to do it. It is a splendid little manual for all who hanker after an exotic, safe and pleasant trip to Antarctica, the Falklands and South Georgia..

5.0 out of 5 stars A good basic guide to Antarctic travel and resources, February 13, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Antarctica, The Falklands & South Georgia (Cadogan Guides) (Paperback)

This book basically covers it all- wildlife, history, how to get there, what there is once you get there. It is portable and readable, with all the most basic information you need- but it is not a comprehensive guide book, like the Lonely Planet guide. José Kirchner

I really enjoyed this book. I bought it to learn about Antarctica, and initially, I was a little disappointed with the seemingly superfluous information such as which cruises are available, etc. But there is some really interesting information in this book that seems trivial but is really fascinating, such as what people on Antarctica eat or what they do to keep themselves occupied. I really enjoyed this book and I finished it thinking I had just acquired a wealth of knowledge about the mysterious continent.
