Antarctic Affair is the compelling story of an incredible adventure by a twenty-two-year-old Irish biologist. He travelled to the Antarctic during the International Geophysical Year (1957), following in the footsteps of two other well-known Irishmen, Ernest Shackleton and Tom Crean.
The book recalls the journey of a leaving Southampton on the RSS Shackleton, in October 1957, bound for the Falkland Islands. From there, the crew headed to South Georgia, then the headquarters of the bloody whaling and sealing industry. The near sinking of the Shackleton, after dropping the survey party on Powell Island, and their subsequent rescue, threw Fergus' plans into chaos.
Antarctic Affair is a vivid read, full of poignant life and death stories of Fergus' three years down south.
