Description

A beautiful photographic celebration of the world's 18 species of penguin.

Featuring breathtaking photographs of the world’s 18 species of penguin, Mission Penguin takes you to many of the most remote places on earth, from the Falkland and Galápagos Islands to the Antipodes Islands and Tristan da Cunha.

Following the loss of her husband, Ursula Clare Franklin embarked on a personal mission to see and photograph every species of penguin in their natural habitats. The result is a remarkable showcase of penguins – hundreds of striking photographs accompanied by engaging text that details the penguins’ features and characteristics. Each chapter explores a new penguin species and details Ursula’s spectacular journey to see and photograph these much-loved birds.

This astonishing and informative book explores the difficulties all penguins face and how humanity’s actions have threatened their very existence. Ursula warns of the devastating effects of climate change and the conservation efforts needed to ensure future generations can continue to experience the joy of penguins. This is a story that will inspire, uplift and educate.
