Publisher's Synopsis
With candid stories and vivid photography, take an Antarctic cruise with award-winning journalist, author and avid traveler Jewel Allen.
As I am discovering, prepping for Antarctica is going to be more involved than packing for your typical vacation. Primarily, I am having to purchase some serious cold weather gear rated for, metaphorically-speaking, a 24-hour stint in a grocery food store freezer. With an ice block on my head and extremities. Meanwhile, my husband Drew, who was a sled dog race vet for a decade and still relishes memories of the time they were stuck in a tent during a whiteout and eventually had to be rescued by helicopter, has most of the gear he needs. He says frigid weather that has sustained icebergs and glaciers for centuries is no big deal.
