Scientist Bill Fraser has devoted three decades to Antarctica, and in that time this breathtaking region has warmed faster than any place on earth, with profound consequences for the Adélies, the classic tuxedoed penguin that is dependent on sea ice to survive. During the Antarctic spring and summer of 2005-2006, author Fen Montaigne spent five months working on Fraser's field team, and he returned with a moving tale that chronicles the beauty of the wildest place on earth, the lives of the beloved Adélies, the saga of the discovery of the Antarctic Peninsula, and the story--told through Fraser's work--of how rising temperatures are swiftly changing this part of the world. It's Montaigne's descriptive prowess, his ability to evoke lavender--and cobalt, magenta and violet--without waxing purple, that most impresses (\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e) as he chronicles the penguins' plight, which is also our own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFen Montaigne\u003c\/b\u003e is a journalist and author whose work has appeared in \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker, National Geographic, Outside, Smithsonian, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Wall Street Journal\u003c\/i\u003e.
