In Dream about Antarctica, acclaimed Ukrainian writer Markiyan Prokhasko brings to life the frozen continent through his own unforgettable journey to the Vernadsky Research Base. Spanning 656 pages, this richly illustrated travel memoir immerses you in an ice-bound world of towering glaciers, remote islands, and the vast Southern Ocean. Prokhasko combines vivid nature writing—detailed panoramas of ice and snow, dramatic tales of early explorers, and reflections on urgent environmental challenges—with personal anecdotes from life on the world’s most isolated research station. Each chapter weaves scientific insight, historical context (from the first sighting of Antarctica 200 years ago to modern-day expeditions), and the author’s own emotional response to the stark beauty and ecological fragility of the polar realm
