I was walking in the mall when I passed
by a book sale shop. As always, I would go inside and look for something to
read and buy. Reading is another thing that I practice as it nourishes my brain
cells and makes me intelligent, especially writing articles for my travels. I’ve
been looking for something that interests me; I am not into reading novel. What
I want is about authors experience from an adventure and I found one.
The Mammoth Book of Antarctic
Journeys, edited by Jon E. Lewis; this book compiles stories and diaries of few
people who had their own expedition and explored the Antarctic continent, from
the eighteenth century explorer James Cook to Lynne Cox accounts in 2002. According
to these explorers, the Antarctic which is the southernmost wilderness of the
Earth after centuries – it also changes because of Global Warming.
This book got my attention
because of its death-defying stories. While writing this post, I have read the
first 16 pages of this book and it builds another part of me – dreaming to be a
part of an Antarctic Expedition.
