About this title

Review:

"[T]he wildlife guide of choice for those planning to visit the Falkland Islands. . . . Highly recommended!"--Chris Sharpe
"[T]his is a very nice little book, which is ideal for visitors to the Falkland Islands and deserves to do well. It effectively replaces the earlier field guides."--Andrew Clarke, Ibis

From the Back Cover:

"This simple but highly practical guidebook is the first to cover Antarctica. Trotter deals with all the necessary information, such as how and when to get there, what to expect, what to bring (suggesting dry suits instead of wet), what wildlife you are likely to see, and underwater photography in the region."--Nigel Sitwell, Ocean Explorer
