Good reads; Darrell and Elaine at Paradise Bay, Antarctic Peninsula


A wonderful day of viewing the Antarctic Pennisula at Paradise Bay!

This is a special year for Antarctic exploration - 2011 marks the 100 anniversary of the first expedition to the South Pole. I read several books about the history and uniqueness of the region - stories of tragedy, discovery, heroism and adventure.
In Patagonia - by Bruce Chatwin
Creation - "Annie's Box" Charles Darwin story by Randall Keynes
Rounding the Horn - Dallas Murphy
Endurance - The Shakleton Story
