Memoirs of Australian Antarctic Scientist John Bunt

John Bunt's Antarctic Memoirs have been published.

Bunt, an Australian scientist now retired, worked on sea ice algae physiology in Antarctica and other topics, and was an early diver under the ice in Antarctica.

About this book:

"A rare account, at first hand, of the brave new world of Antarctica in the early days of the 1950s, within the repetitions and routines of scientific work in a place of ultimate isolation, camaraderie and the magic of the first contact with the last unknown region of our planet." David Malouf

Ordering information is available on the publisher's site at SeaView Press.
