The Two-Headed Whale: Life, Loss, and the Tangled Legacy of Whaling in the Antarctic
by Sandy Winterbottom
A fascinating blend of Antarctic history, exploration, environmental history and personal narrative, examining the complex legacy of commercial whaling in the Southern Ocean.
In 2016, Sandy Winterbottom embarked on a six-week tall-ship voyage from Uruguay to Antarctica, following the historic route associated with Ernest Shackleton. During the journey she encountered the grave of Anthony Ford, an eighteen-year-old Scottish whaler, prompting a deeper investigation into the lives of the people involved in the Antarctic whaling industry and its lasting environmental impact.
The book combines the spectacular landscape and wildlife of Antarctica with human history, maritime exploration and questions surrounding our relationship with the natural world.
