Terra Incognita
Travels in Antarctica
A fascinating account of the ten weeks which Sara Wheeler spent in Antarctica as 'writer in residence'. Combining her wry observations on the insular lives of the ice-bound scientists with appreciation of the stark beauty of the landscape and its wildlife, this is a highly entertaining read. Rejacketed reissue to join publication of The Magnetic North.

Über den Autor
Sara Wheeler's books include the international bestseller Terra Incognita: Travels in Antarctica, of which the Telegraph reviewer wrote, 'I do not think there will ever be a better book on the Antarctic.' The Magnetic North: Notes from the Arctic Circle, was chosen as Book of the Year by Will Self, Michael Palin, A. N. Wilson and others. She has published two biographies of travellers: Cherry: A Life of Apsley Cherry-Garrard, and Too Close to the Sun: The Life and Times of Denys Finch Hatton, and was immensely relieved to write about women at last in O My America!. She lives in London.
