What Our Customers Say...

Description

The first edition of this work on Patagonia in the original Spanish language. Uncommon. Detailing the beauty of the landscapes, the culture, and life in what is considered to be one of the most fascinating regions in South America. With illustrations and a map. 

From the library of Eric Kenneth Prentice Back. Kenn Back was a British meteorologist with the British Antarctic survey for many years. He spent eight winters in the Antarctic and is a descendent of Captain George Back. In addition, he served as base commander at Halley, Faraday and Rothera stations. His library collection was built over decades and highlights his love of polar exploration.
