The Blue Pilot, named after the Antarctic fauna, is a fantastic character, a survivor of the historic shipwreck of the Spanish ship San Telmo. The legend of the Blue Pilot, the one that will be transmitted from generation to generation, said that the one who rested among the ancient ice, the man whose skin was dyed blue by the glacier, would become their champion as soon as he woke up, the hero who would help them keep their land free of excesses and greed. The author of this book, the first of what is intended to be the El Piloto Azul collection, has had the privilege of living in Antarctica over five campaigns. Based on his experience, he has created a legendary character so that, with his hand, the reader is transported to the great white continent and can peer into its splendid nature. Words will always fall short to express the unprecedented emotions that emerge when living among so much virginity, to describe its changing landscapes, its ice of a thousand colors, or what it feels like when creatures that we have been on the verge of exterminating, observe us and approach us with calm curiosity, without a hint of fear in their eyes. Even so, we will be satisfied if we at least get those who follow the adventures of The Blue Pilot to join in the preservation of those lands, which are everyone's heritage.
