Heslenfeld’s marvelous photo book depicts the Antarctic continent as seen during two voyages. Unlike most current voyages to the continent via cruise ship, Heslenfeld journeyed on the Dutch barque ‘Europa’, a beautiful three-masted barque built in 1911. The photos depict not only the ship itself but the scenery and wildlife along the route from Ushuaia, to the Antarctic Peninsula, South Georgia, Tristan da Cunha, and Cape Town. Accompanying the photos are the captain’s log from one of the voyages. In English.
