Louis
J. Halle - The sea and the ice
De achterflap:
Well known as a nature writer and an amateur specialist
on seabirds, Louis Halle has written an fascinating account
that is alive with the beaty, the astonishment, and the
uniqueness of his Antarctic voyage. This is a naturalist's
book, enhanced by the author's knowledge of the history,
geography, and exploration of the area. An informed and
acute observer of the birds and other creatures, Halle reveals
their exquisite adaptations to a climate more inimical to
life than any on earth. Like his earlier works in this field,
The Sea and the Ice provides unusually delightful
reading for the naturalist, the bird enthusiast, and the
armchair explorer.
