The Two-Headed Whale: Life and Loss in the Deepest Oceans by Sandy WinterbottomEnglish | 6 Oct. 2022 | ISBN: 1780277989 | True EPUB | 320 pages | 1.97 MB
In 2016, Sandy Winterbottom embarked on an epic six-week tall-ship voyage from Uruguay to Antarctica. At the mid-way stop in South Georgia, her pristine image of the Antarctic was shattered when she discovered the dark legacy of twentieth century industrial-scale whaling. Enraged by what she found, she was quick to blame the men who undertook this wholescale slaughter, but then she stumbled upon the grave of an eighteen-year-old whaler from Edinburgh who she could not allow to bear the brunt of blame. There are two sides to every story.
