stunning, visuals...

incredibly, stunning pictures...be sure to play the dvd as it contains even more details on getting there, especially interesting was the voyage through 'Drake's Shakes' a 3 day voyage through some of the roughest seas in the world. What I thought was missing was more details on how global warming has affected this area. While the pictures are incomparable, the visuals need more insight on how this area is being affected so much, what has changed over the years, and what this means to the rest of the world.

SOS for Amazing Antarctica

I have visited Antarctica and climbed its ice in some of the very places photographed by Copeland. His amazing images capturing the majestic, awe-inspiring beauty of this magnificant continent can be beaten only by seeing it in person. The included DVD is a real treat, especially on a wide screen, where you feel you are right there with the bergs, the glaciers, the penguins, and the wild seas of the Drake. The book's climate-change warnings and insightful commentaries are timely and provocative, but hardly a huge part of the book. Ignore the global warming skeptcis who have rated it down--they don't know what they're talking about and are just plain wrong. Copeland and his commentators have it right on. I have seen with my own eyes the damage warming is causing to Antarctica. Tragically, it is very real. Buy the book for its fabulous pictures, learn why Antarctica is so compelling, then you will surely give attention to its warning and heed its SOS.

incredible view

What a fascinating book full of lush, startling images of this disappearing part of our planet. A real wake up call about our global warming emergency. Thank you for preserving images of this beautiful, stark continent.

Absolutely stunning

The photography in this book is absolutely amazing. Copeland says that he didn't mess around with the colors, because Antarctica's own colors are stunning. You'll be amazed. The book is carbon neutral, you get a DVD with it, and it all goes for a good cause. Buy this book!!
