Sometime around 1980, Richard Adams took a tourist cruise ship to the Antarctic and then to New Zealand. It's a short book with lots of photographs. Adams is a nature lover so the focus is on the wildlife, mainly birds. They stopped at Scott's hut and Adams shows his age by remarking how the labels on the 80 year old food tins reminded him of his childhood. The highlight of the trip for him was when the ship was surrounded by dozens of breaching whales. They take Zodiac boats to shore and walk among the sea lions and penguins. On the way north they stop at Enderby Island which is still fresh in my memory from the classic Island of the Lost by Joan Druett, the descriptions match well how I recalled it. They stop at another island overrun by yes, rabbits. This might be a good book to take on such a trip, or in lieu of one, the age of it holds up fine and Adams is a gentle character.

"... Here is the true, authentic Antarctic of today, brought vividly to life by Richard Adams, author of "Watership Down", and Ronald Lockley, the world famous naturalist. Brilliantly illustrated by Peter Hirst-Smith, the well known photographer, this account of their voyage southward from Cape Horn to the Great Ross Ice Shelf and Captain Scott's hut and "up the other side" to New Zealand, will delight and fascinate all who read it." -- Back cover.
