Author Information

Amy Kernahan was born and brought up on the Isle of Lewis in Scotland's Outer Hebrides, but is now an 'economic migrant' to the South East of England, where she works as an assembly, integration and test engineer for a company building small satellites in Guildford, Surrey. A fascination with technology led her to choose a career path that she believed would bring her to its cutting edge, gaining along the way a Masters in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Glasgow and studying for a time at the prestigious Ecole Nationale Superieur de l'Aeronautique et de l'Espace in Toulouse. (She maintains that the reality is somewhat different and that whoever said the space industry is glamorous has never worked in it!) But her first love has always been the sea. Orion is Upside Down is her first book and is a sea story with almost as much ice as there is brine about it. Amy recounts the events and adventures of a journey to Antarctica and the sub-Antarctic Islands, drawing parallels and contrasts between the places she visits and the island she reluctantly calls home. Amy is a typical travel writer in that she insists that she is not a travel writer!
