A century after Amundsen's triumph and Scott's tragedy, our fascination with Antarctica endures. This glorious visual history combines discussions of the great polar voyages, and their scientific and imaginative import, with a range of rare materials--previously unpublished photographs, artworks, ephemera, and manuscripts from public and private collections--to give us a biography not just of two amazing men but of the South Pole itself. An international who's who of explorers, historians, scientists, and polar experts, including Sir Ranulph Fiennes, Lynne Cox, Don Walsh, have contributed to this stunning work.
