Description - Regions of Thick-Ribbed Ice by Helen Garner

They say that tourist ships to Antarctica, even more than ordinary human conveyances, are loaded down with aching hearts. Deceived wives and widowers, men who've never been loved and don't know why, Russian crew forced to leave their children behind for years at a time €¦ And then there are the married couples: how calm the old ones, how eager the new! - but isn't a couple the greatest mystery of all? Regions of Thick - Ribbed Ice is the tale of a journey to Antarctica aboard the Professor Molchanov. With unmatched eloquence, Helen Garner spins a tale of ships, icebergs, tourism, time, photography and the many forms of desolation.
