This is a beautiful limited edition book of 1,500 numbered copies. This large book is ostensibly the diary of Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, who was commissioned to write a new Anatarctic Symphony. However, its real focus, is its seemingly endless double page photograpy by Pete Bucktrout, capturing the beauty and drama of this icy continent, which has affected the souls of so many great explorers, including Scott, Amundson, Shackleton and Mawson. If you love Antarctica, buy a copy of this exceptional book while you still have the chance, as it will undoubtedly become a collectors item. - Miles Hutchings
