The Living Planet
The album title refers to the part of Antarctica known as Victoria Land, after Queen Victoria (and forming the British claim to the continent, currently dormant under international treaty). Some of the track titles were borrowed from passages on the Arctic and Antarctic in David Attenborough's "The Living Planet: A Portrait of the Earth", the accompanying book to his 1984 BBC nature documentary series "The Living Planet", for example "Throughout the dark months of April and May, the birds display to one another and finally mate" on page 54.
