About The Book

According to many travel sites and vacationers, one of the hottest destination spots is Antarctica, one of the coldest places on the planet—celebrities including Prince Harry and Alexander Sarsgaard have made a South Pole expedition. For adventurous vacationers, or anyone interested in learning about Antarctica’s diverse species, Waterford Press introduces Antarctic Wildlife, the first and only pocket-sized guide to the continent and the essential travel companion. Despite the sub-zero temperatures, Antarctica is home to an incredible array of wildlife, but it’s not always easy to know what you’re looking at. And without Wi-Fi or cell phone service, you can’t rely on your smart phone for help. Antarctic Wildlife is easy to read and understand, with detailed visuals and concise, clear descriptions. Antarctic Wildlife is a pocket reference guide to more than 120 of the most common species of marine birds, whales, seals, fishes and marine invertebrates found in this remote region. Beautiful illustrations and detailed descriptions highlight the distinguishing features of the familiar species eco-tourists are most likely to see on land and at sea during their visit. Laminated for durability and lightweight at just 1 ounce, this pocket-sized folding guide is an excellent source of information and easy to pack. Made in the USA.

“Waterford’s Pocket Guides transform a walk on the beach or a hike in the woods into a rich opportunity.”

– Homemakers Magazine

“The “Pocket Naturalist Guides” are colorful, pocket-sized, laminated, folded guides (3½" x 8¼" folded, open to 22" x 8¼"), designed to be taken into the wilderness. They cover states and wilderness regions, some featuring all wildlife and some much more focused (e.g., butterflies, ducks). Yes, they'll require creative shelving (we put ours in an old map box next to the other field guides), and their life span may be shorter than your average field guide, but their quality, low price, and variety are worth the inconvenience.”
