Escapades with the penguins of Antarctica.

In Waiting to Fly, Ron Naveen weaves the stories of his delightful penguin companions together with descriptions of his own experiences as a field scientist in Antarctica. He also recounts the adventures of earlier explorers who have studied these fascinating, flightless birds since the early part of the century. With his luminous prose and breathtaking photographs, this informative book presents Naveen's penguins as distinctly resourceful, beguiling, and unforgettable personalities.
