What is it like to live in a tiny polar haven for two months? To paint penguins outdoors in freezing weather? To be flipper-slapped by a bird whose wings are powerful enough to propel it swiftly through frigid waters? To look into the oddly expressive eyes of a penguin chick? With charming watercolors and intriguing journal entries， this book inspires our curiosity. Sophie Webb gives readers a vivid， frank， firsthand account of what it is like to spend a season in a land not yet affected by people， yet populated for centuries by true dwellers of the Antarctic — the fearless， round-bellied， pink-footed， gliding， diving， utterly adept Adélie penguins.
