The locations of The Tourist Trail

I didn’t set out to write a book that covered so much ground — figuratively and literally.

But it sure turned out that way. Below is a list of locations featured in The Tourist Trail.

This novel spans nearly the length of the globe — from the polar ice cap near the North Pole to the Amundsen Sea off the coast of Antarctica. I’ve included links to provide detailed coordinates or context.

USA

• San Diego
• Los Angeles
• Washington D.C.

Argentina

• Buenos Aires
• Trelew
• Puerto Madryn
• Punta Verde (Punta Tombo)

Antarctica

• Drake Passage
• Palmer Station (web site)
• Amundsen Sea

The Arctic: The edge of the polar ice cap

And then there are the ships, upon which much action takes place. Four vessels were used:

• Arctic Tern
• Eminence
• Cormorant
• Roca

Readers of this book should be eligible for frequent flyer miles — virtual ones at least.
