Description:
First edition. The great auk was a large flightless bird which became extinct in 1844. The author has reconstructed with great skill and compassion the story of the great auk's last annual migrations between Eldey Island where they bred, off southwest Iceland, and South Carolina where they wintered. Each journey meant an almost incredible swim of three thousand miles.
