Let Heroes Speak, Antarctic Explorers, 1772-1922

Let Heroes Speak, Antarctic Explorers, 1772-1922


by Michael Rosove

  • EXPLORATION
  • 2002
  • PAPER
  • 384 PAGES
  • OUT OF PRINT

In this nicely written history, Rosove traces 150 years of Antarctic exploration from Captain James Cook and Bellingshausen, to the polar exploits of Mawson, Scott, Shackleton, Byrd and Ellsworth. Best of all, he quotes generously from the explorers themselves, drawing on journals, diaries and published accounts. (ANT122, $14.00)
