Susan Fox Rogers' ANTARCTICA: LIFE ON THE ICE honored by the Society of American Travel Writers

Antarctica: Life on the Ice awarded Silver medal for Best Travel Book
Houston, October 18, 2008

Founded in 1985, the Society of American Travel Writers Foundation seeks to improve and reward excellence in the field of travel journalism. In its 24th annual Lowell Thomas Travel Journalism Competition, the SATW Foundation honored Susan Fox Rogers' Antarctica: Life on the Ice with a silver medal in the Best Travel Book category.

A "well-edited collection of Antarctica tales," said judges, the best part of Antarctica is that the stories—that range from "harrowing" to "goofy"—are not "written by travelers looking for adventure but by the people who live in this most remote spot."
