| Publisher Description: These travels describe an Antarctic adventure through the wild Southern Ocean to the Ross Sea the so-called Heart of Antarctica and the furthest south you can travel by boat. This is the heartland of the region first explored by Scott and his compatriots before their untimely disaster. On the other side of the southern continent we visit those places put on the map by the intrepid whalers who roamed the southern seas. This is Shackleton country and we visit South Georgia and Elephant Island made famous by the heroic exploits of Shackleton and his party and then move on to the sublime beauty of the Antarctic Peninsula. |
