About This Item
Sydney: New Holland, 2011. 1st ed.. Paperback octavo, thick card covers (with flaps), very good condition, tiny tear bottom edge last page, spine little creased, minor edgewear. 320 pp. The author fulfils a long-time dream to visit the frozen continent, and to see how modern Antarctica compares with the accounts of the early explorers. A humorous and thoughtful exploration not only of the enduring spirit of discovery, adventure and comradeship still found on the ice continent a century after Mawson's voyage, but of what Antarctica might be like in the future.
