Rebecca L. Johnson is the author of numerous award-winning nonfiction children's books. She has been to Antarctica three times as a grantee with the National Science Foundation's Antarctic Artists and Writers Program. Johnson became fascinated with Ernest Shackleton during her first trip to show more Antarctica, when she visited the hut at Cape Royds where Shackleton and the men of the Nimrod expedition spent the winter of 1908. Someday Johnson hopes to travel to South Georgia Island, where Ernest Shackleton is buried. show less
