«Salut au Grand Sud» is the travel narrative by Isabelle Autissier and Erik Orsenna, published by Stock in paperback, 263 pages, in French.
The authors recount the crossing they made on the sailboat Ada from Ushuaia to Antarctica in early 2006, a remote and frozen region twenty-six times larger than France. For two months they lived with the ice, storms and solitude of the continent, and explain why that southern world is key to the planet's climate and to the memory of ancient times.
The work was originally published in 2006 and includes bibliographic references; the text is in French.
For readers interested in travel chronicles, sailing and polar exploration.
