Who's going to Antarctica? Sophie Scott! Nine year-old Sophie is going on a month-long voyage to Antarctica, with her dad, the captain of an icebreaker. Sailing the frozen seas round-trip from Australia to Mawson Station in the South Pole, Sophie recounts the adventure of a lifetime in her own words, illustrations, and color photographs. She learns about the ship ("Always Hold On"), dances with the crew (the Penguin Strut!) and learns how to stay toasty in special polar clothes. She'll show us icebergs, penguins, seals and whales--maybe even the southern lights! It's a dangerous journey but Sophie is well-prepared for the thrills and chills that await her on top of the world. This friendly, informative and beautifully presented picture book is based on the author's own experiences and shows the wonder of Antarctica through a child's eyes.
