Follow-up to the Wales' Book of the Year 2011 winning Cloud Road: a history of the Antarctic Peninsula, South Shetland Islands and the Weddell Sea, the most visited places in Antarctica.

A history of the Antarctic Peninsula, South Shetland Islands and the Weddell Sea, the most visited places in Antarctica. In 12 years John has visited over 40 times and guides and lectures on adventure cruise ships. He delivers a selection of highly readable accounts of the merchantmen, navy men, sealers, whalers, and aviators who, with scientists and adventurers drew the first ghostly maps of the white continent.

John Harrison comes from a line of aviators and seafarers, and studied geography at Cambridge. He will be appearing across the UK in a multi-media spoken word tour in 2012. Further details at www.forgottenfootprints.com.
