Description[edit | edit source]
Aesthetically, you’ll find an all-new design with plenty to like: a hi-visibility “Antarctic Survey Orange” front cover and “Polar Night Black” back cover, with a subtle varnish effect featuring a topographic map of Antarctica. The body pages feature our popular dot-graph paper printed in light gray. But the real innovation here is the paper. It’s maybe not even fair to call it paper. The whole book is printed on Yupo Synthetic paper, an amazing water- and tear-proof paper extruded from polypropylene pellets in Chesapeake, Virginia. [1].
As part of the marketing for this edition, the books were rigorously tested for various conditions and extreme situations, including water submersion, tearing, and an acid bath.
This edition has since become a stock edition (FN-17), available year-round.
