Dr Gabrielle Walker will be presenting a mesmerising slideshow of the world’s most mysterious continent, Antarctica, at the Bloomsbury Institute on Tuesday 13th March, and prize winners will win a copy of her new book and a pair of tickets to attend this special event. An expert in her field, she presented BBC Radio 4’s Planet Earth Under Threat and Thin Air. Her new book captures the entrancing story of Antarctica, from exploration to its future survival.

Gabrielle Walker, author, consultant to New Scientist and regular broadcaster with the BBC has written a book unlike any that has ever been written about the continent. Antarctica weaves all the significant threads into an intricate tapestry, made up of science, natural history, poetry, epic history, what it feels like to be there and why it draws so many different kinds of people back there again and again. It is only when all the parts come together that the underlying truths of the continent emerge. Antarctica is the most alien place on Earth, the only part of our planet where humans could never survive unaided.  It is truly like walking on another planet.  And yet, in its silence, its agelessness and its mysteries lie the secrets of our past, and of our future.

Praise for Gabrielle Walker
