With some time to relax over the Christmas holidays you may have the opportunity to do some research and reading on your expedition destination. The more you learn about your expedition destination before you go the more you'll understand the people, culture and history, and the more you'll get out of the whole experience! Have a look below for some recommended reading (B= book, W= website, F= film!) for each of our destinations!
