Antarctica is beautiful and amazing. Visiting the land of unafraid penguins is a dream for many people, but access to this borderless land is strictly limited. Because its nature is fragile and vulnerable, and its harsh character does not forgive mistakes.
«My Polar Diary» reflects the experience and impressions of staying in Antarctica, which South Korean writer Kim Geumhee visited not as a tourist, but as a special correspondent and assistant in scientific research. For this, she had to undergo quite serious training. The narrative about the days spent at the King Sejong Station is filled with awe for the majestic nature of Antarctica, almost untouched by human civilization.
Kim Geumhee is known in South Korea for her touching stories, written with a deep understanding of the emotional experiences and anxieties of modern man. She began her literary career in 2009 and quickly gained recognition from readers. Since then, many short stories and essays have come from her pen.
