Ship in the Wilderness is a record of the journeys made by this remarkable little ship and the results are spectacular. Filled with images such as dramatic Antarctic icescapes, tribes from islands in the South Pacific, plants and flowers from the arctic and fantastic photographs and drawings of seals, whales, penguins, polar bears, iguanas, orang-utans, giant tortoises, not to mention many different species of bird. Jim Synder's stunning wildlife and landscape photography combine with the eloquent text and log-book drawings of acclaimed writer and wildlife artist Keith Shackleton to make Ship in the Wilderness a truly unique natural history title.

A brand-new opening section has been added to this odyssey, bringing the records of Explorer's continued explorations up to date.
