	South through the Pole - The longest unasisted Trans-Antarctica
		In fact, the heavy isotopic composition of snowfall depends on water particles evaporating from the oceans and condensing in clouds as they make their journey to the ice-caps.
		Paleoclimatologists have observed, on several expeditions carried out in Antarctica and Greenland, a practically linear relationship linking the isotopic composition of snow and the temperature of the site where the sample was collected.
		Theoretical studies and numerical simulations confirm this link and show that the condensation temperature is the dominant factor which determines the isotopic value.

		This is by far the most compelling part of the narrative, and the one where the intertwined beauty and brutality of Antarctica are most immediate.

		Despite the fact that Antarctica is probably the least visited of the many regions of the world covered by LP, the authors have managed to put together an outstanding agglomeration of data and advice, well edited and excellently written.
		Jeff Rubin's guide-book to Antarctica is a treasure, first of all because guide-books on Antarctica are still very rare indeed, secondly because it is exhaustively comprehensive in its detail and yet so readable.
