Counting Penguins

Peter Watson

£20.00
At 64Û south, on a tiny Antarctic island bustling with penguins, even the smallest lives leave a mark. Welcome to Port Lockroy - the world's southernmost post office, a tiny outpost on a football-pitch-sized island off the Antarctic Peninsula, shared by a handful of humans and a thousand curious gentoo penguins. When travel writer Peter John Watson boards a ship bound for Antarctica, he has no idea how deeply life at the end of the world will change him. Between long shifts counting penguin chicks, welcoming passing cruise ships and sorting mail, he discovers a whimsical world where climate science, storied heritage and captivating wildlife converge in one of the most inhospitable places on Earth.
