Through the First Antarctic Night
Frederick A. Cook
EXPLORATION •  1998 •  PAPER  • 520 PAGES

A reprint of Cook's account of the voyage of the "Belgica," under the command of Adrian Gerlache. This expedition, the first to overwinter below the Antarctic Circle, explored and named many of the features along the western coast of the Antarctic Peninsula -- the most popular region for modern tourist expeditions. Whatever you think of the veracity of Frederick Cook (and his claims to have reached the North Pole and McKinley), he's a terrific writer. With maps, archival and modern photographs.  (ANT102, $19.95)
