Both a gorgeous photographic portrait and a comprehensive, up-to-date primer, this oversize, illustrated survey of Antarctic history, exploration, wildlife, science and conservation features 600 spectacular color photographs and terrific maps, many by the well-traveled colleague and Antarctic expedition leader David McGonigal, who also rounded up dozens of experts to contribute. It's got it all: geology, geography and climate, wildlife, exploration, science and Antarctica today. We especially like the detailed maps of Antarctic regions, including the Gerlache Strait, which highlight popular visitor sites.
