Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book details the epic journeys of some of the most determined individuals who sought to conquer the great, icy southern continent of Antarctica. Here you will find the tales of sailors, explorers, and sealers who left their mark on these inhospitable shores. It was the dream of many, from Greeks to Portuguese cartographers, to find a great landmass that scientists and scholars believed existed in the Southern Hemisphere. Portuguese explorers may have seen Australia's coast as early as the 16th century. In this book, the author has culled original logs and contemporary accounts to explore the long and fascinating history of the Antarctic. This book includes the geographical background, leading up to the discovery of the southern continent, and also offers an in-depth look at the various expeditions that followed. Along the way, the author studies the impact that these early voyages had on geographical knowledge and the exploration of the globe. The book concludes with the first sighting of the Antarctic continent in 1820.
