This archival, hand-sewn journal/sketchbook is made from 100 gsm, white Hahnemühle Ingres mouldmade paper from Dassel, Germany since 1584, sewn with Irish linen thread in the linked pattern that was developed by the ancient Copts. This stitch allows the book to lay open easily at any page.

 This book’s endbands are tan and gold silk, and its bookmark is goatskin.  Its boards are wrapped in a 1963 map of Antarctica, and its spine is covered in Alran French goatskin that was processed at Rocky Mountain Leather Supply in Utah. Its endpapers are from the same map. 

The talisman in this book is 2020, two-euro coin marking the 200th anniversary of the Russian exploration team of Gottlieb von Bellinghausen and Mikhail Lazarev who narrowly proceeded American sealer Nathaniel Palmer, first to lay eyes upon the continent of Antarctica.  Only about 100,000 people visit Antarctica each year, making it the least visited, least populated continent on Earth.
