Description

Inagua is the adventurous story of a scientific expedition begun by chance and misfortune when Gilbert Klingel and his partner were shipwrecked on the coral reef of Great Inagua Island in the Bahamas. While his partner chose to return to the comforts of home, Klingel decided to stay and study the wildlife of land, lake and sea. Part natural history, part adventure, part memoir, this long-forgotten classic is perfect for anyone who loves an exciting journey filled with wonder and discovery.
