Finding place Antarctica

Alessandro Antonello

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

In the summer of 2001–2002, the British-based Australian author
Meredith Hooper spent the season at Palmer Station, the United States’
scientific base on Anvers Island in the western Antarctic Peninsula. She
had first visited that area in the summer of 1998–1999, and was keen
to return, taken in by the place and its penguins. She wanted especially
to understand climate change; Palmer’s penguins, studied in depth over
decades by the American seabird ecologist Bill Fraser, would help her do
so.
