- Summary:
-
"The Dry Valleys of Antarctica are one of the last truly remote places left on earth. With no cover of ice or snow, and no rainfall, these dry valleys are 'islands' in the midst of the frozen ice of the Antarctic continent ; a wonderfully strange environment of ice-covered lakes that hold some of the planet's purest water, huge expanses of wind-sculpted rock, eroded landforms, and glaciers that flow down into valleys from the surrounding mountains. Access to this unique environment is restricted with only a limited number of scientists and tourists allowed into the area. Improbable Eden is the first photographic book to have been published exclusively on the Dry Valleys. With a text by acclaimed Antarctic writer Bill Green and photography by Craig Potton, one of New Zealand's preeminent landscape photographers, it is a significant and beautiful addition to Antarctic literature"--Dust jacket.
