The FNC-17 “Expedition Edition” features a hi-visibility “Antarctic Survey Orange” front cover and a “Polar Night Black” back cover, with a subtle varnish effect featuring a topographic map of Antarctica. The body pages feature the popular dot-graph paper, printed in light gray.The whole book is printed on Yupo Synthetic paper, an amazing water- and tear-proof paper extruded from polypropylene pellets in Chesapeake, Virginia. Since the paper doesn’t actually absorb ink, we recommend using regular ballpoint pens or pencils for writing.
