Dramatic Antarctic icescapes, a million penguins crowding the slopes of a volcano, a sea lion napping under a giant cactus in the Galapagos, walruses, whales, hunting polar bears?these are just some of the rare and beautiful images to be found in this lavish record of the voyages of the MS ?Explorer.? For more than two decades, this unique adventure ship has carried enthusiasts, artists, and naturalists to the remotest parts of the Earth, venturing further north and further south than any other passenger ship before her. Among her passengers for much of this time was explorer and painter Keith Shackleton, whose gifts as a raconteur and artist?there is a generous selection of his watercolors here?bring to life the pole?to?pole journeys. And among her crew was the young American photographer, Jim Snyder, whose breathtaking shots of animals, plants, birds, and seascapes are showcased in this stunning volume. A singular work of natural history and exploration.
