Lourie’s smooth, first-person narrative mixes history, adventure, and personal insights, while glorious photographs of the remarkable land at the southernmost point of the world enhance his travelogue. Readers accompany the Lourie as he rides his mountain bike and uncovers wonder and tragedy in this land. Additional archival photos tell the sad tale of the native Y mana, a people who “did not survive long after continued contact with- outsiders.” Maps, both modern and historical, are well integrated. Highly informative for reports, this fascinating account will also appeal to young readers with wanderlust.
