Ms Wheeler did a crash course in Spanish then went off to Chile, covering the country from tip to toe - "from the driest desert in the world to the sepulchral wastes of Antarctica". It's all too personal for my liking.

Because she does actually touch on Antarctica (pages 217 to 227), I am counting this as my Antarctica book for the World Book Day Challenge II.
Wheeler returned to Antarctica for her book Terra Incognita, and I thought I had a copy lying around somewhere but I can't find it.

desperately trying to think of a suitable place to release this. There's nothing remotely "Antarctic" around here, apart from the weather, around minus 7 at the moment.

Journal Entry 4 by theinfamousj at Charleston, South Carolina USA on Sunday, June 16, 2019
((Caught May 2019))

As is part of my travel tradition, I brought some books with me on vacation to Charleston, South Carolina. As happened, I sent the books off with a pair of friends (Austin and Emma, I'm calling you out!) to deliver to a Little Free Library and swap for a new book for me. They came back with this book! But unfortunately I cannot say what, exact, Little Free Library they found it in.

The above link will take you to the great chain of book swapping that this book was a big part of.

It will be read and then released on a vacation in the future.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:

My mother took this lovely travel book with her back from North America where I had found it, to Europe where it had originally been released. She placed it on the book swap table at her hotel (DoubleTree) in, as she puts it, "Beautiful Woking," which is high praise from her.

The accompanying journal picture should indicate where the book may be found.

I love how this book crossed the Atlantic from Switzerland where it was originally registered and released to the USA and now back to England. Where shall it go to next? Hopefully another grand adventure!
