Virtual Author Tours Live  

If you missed my last show, "Live from Antarctica: Life on the Ice," take a moment to listen to it now.

Susan Fox Rogers, Editor of Antarctica: Life on the Ice (Travelers' Tales, 20007) brought together contributors Karen Joyce and penguinologist David Ainley, who joined us LIVE from Antarctica, plus researcher Katy Jensen and Guy Guthridge, a former representative of the National Science Foundation and the man behind the NSF's Antarctic Artists and Writers Program, for this lively discussion and Q&A session. Here are just a few things you can learn:

• > Why is the population of Adelie penguins shrinking?
• > What is diamond dust?
  
• > What is it like to see the first sunrise after six months of winter?
• > Can you imagine what it would be like to stand on the ice where there's no sound?
• > How cold is it in Antarctica right now? (You might be surprised.)
• > What was it like on the "Day it Rained Chickens?"
• > How does a writer get to work in Antarctica?

And so much more...

While you're listening, why not buy 2 copies of "Antarctica" -- one for yourself and another for an adventurous friend. Antarctica: Life on the Ice, published by the award-winning Travelers' Tales, is a collection of riveting stories written by scientists, professional writers and other individuals about living and working on the Ice.
