Description
Field guide to Wildlife of the Antarctic Peninsula is the definitive identification guide to the birds and marine mammals of the Peninsula, Drake Passage, and Beagle Channel, plus the South Atlantic islands – the Falklands, South Georgia, the South Orkneys and the South Sandwich Islands.
This new Helm field guide has plates by Aldo Chiappe (birds) and Martin Camm (mammals) to allow easy and confident identification of the penguins, whales, seals, and other stunning wildlife they encounter on their journey, with all bird races and plumages, and all mammal subspecies and variations illustrated. Particular attention is paid to perhaps the richest of the region's wildlife assemblages, the petrels, albatrosses, storm-petrels and prions that collectively make ups the Southern Ocean seabirds.
Concise species accounts describe key identification features with clarity, with the text allied to high-quality and highly detailed maps that will show you exactly where your best chance to see each species lies. The book also has introductory sections on the main stopover points and their habitats, fieldcraft, sea craft, conservation issues and other information on cruising in the region that will help visitors get the most from their trip.
Anyone setting off on the standard Antarctic tour from the Argentinian town of Ushuaia will need this authoritative yet relatively lightweight and portable book. So too will anyone interested in learning more about the diverse wildlife found around the coasts of this remote yet truly spectacular segment of the 'bottom of the world'.
