The history of Emperor penguins and their reproductive cycle is unique in the world. It combines love, drama, courage, and adventure in the heart of Antarctica: the most isolated and inhospitable region on the planet. This unusual scenario, offered by nature, has been perpetuated for millennia--people only discovered it at the beginning of the 20th century. The Emperor's March recounts an extraordinary story: each year, the dauntless Emperor penguins embark on a remarkable journey after the brief Antarctic summer.
