What is it like to live in a tiny Polar Haven for two months? To look into the odd, expressive eyes of an Adelie chick? To be flipper slapped by a bird whose wings are powerful enough to propel it swiftly through the frigid waters? Sophie Webb knows, and she gives readers a frank first hand account of what it is like to spend a season in a land not yet affected by humans, yet populated for centuries by true dwellers of the Antartic - the fearless, round-bellied, pink-footed, waddling, diving, utterly adept Adelie penquins.
