As per the Critics

“  Photographs to swell the heart .... Like a Patek Philippe, [ANTARCTICA]
is a book you don't own, but merely look after for the next generation.”
                                                                          The Economist


“  Among the finest original art books produced in modern times.
  The awards barely hint at the majesty within ANTARCTICA.”
                                     The Los Angeles Times


“  This book is a rare work of art indeed. ... The Keoughs’ unbridled perfectionism
has produced a volume of jaw-dropping beauty and craftsmanship. ”
                                               The Seattle Post-Intelligencer


“  A luxurious masterpiece ... stupendously vivid. ANTARCTICA is not a book.
It’s a work of art, a monument, the apogee of grandeur. ”
                                                                           The Today Show NBC-TV
