A 'remarkable memoir' (Nature) of life with an emperor penguin colony, gorgeously illustrated with 32 pages of exclusive photographyFor 337 days, awardwinning wildlife cameraman Lindsay McCrae intimately followed 11,000 emperor penguins amid the singular beauty of Antarctica. This is his masterful chronicle of one penguin colonys astonishing journey of life, death, and rebirthand of the extraordinary human experience of living amongst them in the planets harshest environment.A miracle occurs each winter in Antarctica. As temperatures plummet 60 below zero and the sea around the remote southern continent freezes, emperorsthe largest of all penguinsbegin marching up to 100 miles over solid ice to reach their breeding grounds. They are the only animals to breed in the depths of this, the worst winter on the planet; and in an unusual role reversal, the males incubate the eggs, fasting for over 100 days to ensure they introduce their chicks safely into their new frozen world.My Penguin Year recounts McCrae's remarkable adventure to the end of the Earth. He observed every aspect of a breeding emperor's life, facing the inevitable sacrifices that came with living his childhood dream, and grappling with the personal obstacles that, being over 15,000km away from the comforts of home, almost proved too much. Out of that experience, he has written an unprecedented portrait of Antarcticas most extraordinary residents.
