Synopsis

Antarctica: Or Two Years Amongst The Ice Of The South Pole (1905) is a memoir written by Swedish explorer Otto Nordenskjold about his two-year expedition to Antarctica from 1901 to 1903. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part detailing the preparations and journey to the continent, and the second part describing their experiences and discoveries while living on the ice. Nordenskjold and his team faced numerous challenges during their expedition, including harsh weather conditions, treacherous terrain, and limited resources. They also encountered various wildlife, such as penguins, seals, and whales, and made important scientific discoveries about the geology, biology, and meteorology of the region. The memoir provides a detailed and personal account of Nordenskjold's experiences, including his relationships with his fellow explorers and the indigenous people they encountered. It also includes numerous photographs and illustrations that help to bring the story to life. Overall, Antarctica: Or Two Years Amongst The Ice Of The South Pole is a fascinating and informative account of one of the most challenging and important expeditions in the history of Antarctic exploration.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
