In the Antarctic Winter of 1911 - waiting to
assist Robert Falcon Scott in his bid to conquer
the South Pole - three extraordinary men
decided to amuse themselves with a side-
expedition to Cape Crozier. The point was to
collect and study the incubating eggs of the
Emperor penguin. They set out into the perpetual
winter dark hauling two sleds with a combined
weight of over 700 lb.
Everything went wrong.
Winner of the 2009 Scandiuzzi Prize (the Washington State Book
Award for Young Readers).
Illustrated with four maps and 70 photographs and drawings from
the expedition. Written for readers of all ages who love heroism
and adventure.
