5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent account of modern Antarctic travel., January 6, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: South Light: A Journey to the Last Continent (Charnwood Large Print Library Series) (Hardcover)
This is definately written from the perspective of the Antarctic traveler turned forever into the Antarctic lover. Though well written, with flavorful descriptions, I fear that its appeal would miss many. As I have traveled to Antarctica, I found endless identification with much of the text. I feel that its strength lies in its ability to evoke strong rememberance of such adventures, but perhaps some of the terminology would be lost on those without the same memory to draw upon! Too bad, it is like reading an old love letter...

Evocative, incisive view of the world's last true wilderness, October 5, 1998
This review is from: South Light: A Journey to the Last Continent (Charnwood Large Print Library Series) (Hardcover)
Written with style and love, this book paints evocative pictures of the Antartic. The way the book is put together enables one to travel as a freind and experience some of the awe and splendore of the place. A deep feeling of lose came over me when I had finished.
