A volume comprising images of the work of artist Meirion Jones inspired by Welsh Patagonia during the 2015 celebrations. Each image is complemented by written responses by Patagonian residents and Welsh contributors who know Patagonia well. This volume could work well as a coffee table book.
This cross-section of contributors creates a natural and entertaining feel to the book, with a distinctive Patagonian feel to many of the excerpts. This would work as a 'coffee table book'.
From walking the coastal cliffs on the tip of the Gower Peninsula with his beloved grandmother – collecting seagull eggs – to braving the desolation of Antarctica alongside one of the most famous explorers of all time, the story of Edgar Evans is a remarkable one.
We follow the main protagonist, Nia, as she decides to go for one last adventure before 'settling down', travelling - along with four other scientists - to the Arctic island of Safísk to conduct research. As the crew learns about a rare bird that lives there - and changes the landscape of its habitat in the process - the island revolts and decides to get rid of the would-be occupiers.
