Wild places form a big part of Robyn Mundy’s life, and her novels. Robyn has wintered and summered in Antarctica, the setting for her first novel The Nature of Ice. Her second novel, Wildlight, is set on remote Maatsuyker Island, home to Australia's loneliest lighthouse where she spent ten months. For over 20 years Robyn has worked seasonally as a ship-based tour guide in Svalbard, Greenland, Antarctica, the Norwegian coast and wild Scotland. Her numerous visits to Svalbard led to her 2021 novel Cold Coast. Robyn lives in Tasmania with a penguin biologist and a Blue Heeler.

‘A brilliant feminist biographical natural history novel.’
*Australian Women's Weekly*
‘Mundy's writing is poetic and lyrical. It transports the reader to
a perilous but unexpectedly luminous part of the world that most
people will never visit.’
*Canberra Times*
‘[Mundy] translates the stark beauty and acerbity of the
Arctic with masterly wit and fervour. This is the best kind of
novel – one that takes you away from the mundanity of your plastic
chair and four concrete walls.’
*Sydney Morning Herald*
