Description

Penguin Summer - or A Rare Bird in Antarctica by Pamela Young. 'Being married to an Antarctic zoologist can make for a stimulating life, but after Pamela Young of Christchurch became an ice-widow for four summers in a row she put her foot down and said, "Right, the next time I'm coming with you!" She went - and this book is her record of life as one of the few women to visit Antarctic. A rare "bird" indeed! But it was birds - two particular species, the Adelie penguin, and its predator, the Skua - that she and her husband Euan had come to watch. As his assistant she spent many hours observing the rookery, eventually getting to know particular favourites such as Sam-I-Am, the Skua. It was a fascinating experience, and Pamela Young has the gift of being able to share it graphically. The dust jacket has light general wear and the book remains in a very tight and tidy condition.
