Informative

John Nunn writes a very informative privation and explanation of his unfortunate shipwreck on Kerguelen Island. For those wishing to know more about this desolate place it is a necessary read. Lots of information about sealing techniques. As is common with writings of this period, Nunn writes very formally and sometimes lacks in personality. While not the most entertaining read I enjoyed this journal of difficult life on an inhospitable frozen hellscape.
