Jonathan Raban has a very descriptive style of writing such that it is easy to visualize the areas that he is sailing through. He includes, at the appropriate places that he is passing through, the history of the first European explorers to see the area with sections of the ships logs, and the crews of those ships. My one disappointment is that there are no examples of the water colour sketches members of the crews (there were two ships) made during the exploration.
