About

As a seasoned Antarctic traveller,  Marta Velazquez realized that there was a need for a book  different from those she had come across during her trips. A book both helful and informative, easy to use and carry around during the Antarctic expedition.
Antarctica Logbook – The Ultimate Journey combines the best of a journal, a travel guide and a field guide in a practical format – 15cm x 21 cm (5.9 in x 8.27 in) – with twin loop wire binding.
