It was on Kerguelen, in the subarctic reaches of the Indian Ocean, that André Migot spent a year as a staff doctor and research biologist with a party of scientists sent out by the French Government. But all hardships notwithstanding, it was an incredibly rewarding year." (from the jacket). N° de ref. del artículo B021211
