About This Book
Sophie Scott is only nine years old when she sets off to Antarctica aboard an icebreaker with her father, the ship’s captain. During her journey to Mawson Station, she keeps a diary filled with encounters of icebergs, penguins, seals, and whales, along with new friendships and an unexpected blizzard. Author Alison Lester based Sophie’s adventure on her own Antarctic expedition as an Antarctic Arts Fellow, weaving together her drawings, real photographs, and artwork from children around the world. This picture book brings the wonder and science of Antarctica to life through a child’s eyes.
