ANTARCTIC WILDLIFE ADVENTURE

Antarctica is the most empty place on Earth. It's the last continent discovered by explorers, the last place to be charted, examined, understood, and the last place to be inhabited. Antarctica is a refuge of sorts for wilderness and for explorers. Jerome and Sally Poncet are explorers and naturalists who live on a sheep farm in the Falkland Islands. A half-dozen times in the last decade, they've sailed 900 miles south, five days at sea, to the islands scattered along the famed Antarctic Peninsula. They sail by themselves in a small yacht, accompanied only by their children, three boys. They trek on remote, rocky islands, trying to learn more about this once unknown and foreboding continent of rock and ice while there's still time to protect the unique balance of life that exists here.
