A Visitor`s Guide to the Antarctic Peninsula, published by London’s Natural History Museum & written by the experts from the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), an essential companion for anyone who is planning to visit this very special place or has already been lucky enough to see it. The guide describes & explains not only the peninsula’s geographical setting, climate & weather, vegetation & animal life, or the ice sheet & geology but also deals with the history of its exploration, the origin of place names for most visited locations, present day research stations, etc. Drawing on the world-class scientific & cartographic expertise of BAS, the guide is illustrated throughout with striking coloured photos & interesting, informative maps. One of the guide’s most fascinating maps, shown on our sample image, illustrates some of the themes used to widen the range of place names to avoid duplication – not just glaciologists or geologists, but also gods in Greek mythology, Homer’s Iliad or even Churchill’s war cabinet! This 128-page guide is published in hardback & printed on high quality paper. ...
