South With the Seabirds

In 1959, four scientists travelled to an island at the edge of the world.
They were greeted by giant seabirds, snorting seals and penguins as far as the eye could see.
Their names were Hope Black, Mary Gillham, Susan Ingham and Isobel Bennett, and they were the first female scientists to join an Australian National Antarctic Research Expedition. Join their journey south and discover their incredible legacy.

The captivating true story of four remarkable scientists and their incredible journey to the sub-Antarctic, written, illustrated and read by Jess McGeachin.
