| Publisher Description: In 2011 author and armchair Antarctic enthusiast Steve Gardner participated in a research project intended to demonstrate that an unmanned aircraft could be a valuable tool in studying the health of penguin and fur seal colonies in the Antarctic. He kept a daily journal of an experience that's not often documented, and this book augments each journal entry with a related story, taking the reader from Magellan's voyage to the structure of crystals, from the California gold rush to the ozone layer, from the piracy of Sir Francis Drake to the nature of potatoes, from Scott and Amundsen to Bouillabaisse and Cioppino, and from physical oceanography to making Pisco sours. God's Icebox serves up a smorgasbord of southern delights. |
