Icebergs: The Antarctic Comes to Town

Longacre Press, 2007. Good second-hand condition.

It was a sight we thought we'd never see - icebergs off the coast of southern New Zealand. Otago Daily Times photographer, Stephen Jaquiery, was the first on the scene in November 2006. His magnificent photographs not only inspired a new sightseeing industry, but also provoked an avalanche of interest from around the world.

Helicopters and small planes, crammed with photographers, TV journalists, scientists, tourists, even Shrek, the celebrity Merino, took to the skies to view and visit these sectacular, groaning, creaking ice islands.

Illustrated with stunning colour photographs throughout ICEBERGS: THE ANTARCTIC COMES TO TOWN celebrates the glorious beauty and power of of the icebergs, as well as our response to their visit. Also included are maps and diagrams.
