Dr Roger Kirkwood spent a year living with the Emperor penguins on the Mawson Coast of Antarctica. He has participated in many research trips to study penguins, albatross, seals and zooplankton.

ReviewsThe DVD that is included brings the Penguins to life and sound. The photography throughout the book and on the DVD is superb and will be of great interest to young and older readers alike. A beautiful and interesting book for all ages. * The Free Library *
