A Passage To Antarctica won the second prize in the non-fiction category of the Competition for Writers of Children's Books held in 1985 by CBT.
On one side of the horizon was the deep blue sea, on the other was complete creamy whiteness. The ship lay amidst sheets of ice, a metre thick... Penguins stood on the edge of the icy whiteness, occasionally looking in the direction of the explorers.
