Antarctica

BOOKS AND MOVIES

ANTARCTICA

Editions Gallimard

In 1979, returning from my first polar expedition to the west coast of Greenland, I knew that a polar sailboat had to be built in the image of Nansen’s Fram, capable of escaping being crushed by the ice pack. Ten years later, Antarctica (now Tara) was launched. This book is the logbook of six months of sailing in Patagonia, South Georgia and the Antarctic Peninsula, the first expedition shared in real time with the public and schools. The adventure allows us to build attractive educational bridges to the life, earth and environmental sciences.
