In Michael Parfit's evocative account of Antarctica we take a journey that is utterly memorable. One of the few writers ever to have spent a full season in Antarctica, Michael Parfit travelled by plane, icebreaker and research vessel to icy places both known and unknown. 'South Light' is a sharply observed narrative enlivened by fascinating animals and particular breeds of men and women, whose brave and cheerful communities warm this cold climate. An outstanding work of travel writing.
