Explore with the explorers,
By A Customer
This review is from: Antarctica: The Extraordinary History of Man's Conquest of the Frozen Continent (Hardcover)
This coffee-table sized book doesn't contain information you can't find elsewhere, but what makes it so special are the many, many photographs. When you read the exploits of the Frozen Continent's explorers, these photos transport you from the comfort of your sofa into the frozen wastelands. The combination of highly readable and informative text and the great photos makes this a great book for anyone interested in exploration.
