Item description from seller

Print on Demand. Over a century after its initial expedition, Antarctica remains a continent of mystery. Even as recently as the 1900s, scientists were still grappling with basic questions about its geography and geology. This book presents the findings of one such expedition, the British Antarctic Expedition of 1907-09. Led by Sir Ernest Shackleton, the expedition included a team of geologists tasked with studying the geology of the Ross Sea region. The book's authors were two of these geologists, T. W. Edgeworth David and Raymond E. Priestley. The book is divided into two volumes. The first volume focuses on the physiography and dynamic geology of the region. The authors begin by describing the coastlines and mountain ranges, paying particular attention to the effects of glaciation. They then discuss the glaciers and icebergs of the region, providing insights into their formation and movement. Notably, they underscore the effect of temperature fluctuation and thawing on the sculpting of the Antarctic landscape and the implications it bears for understanding geological processes. The second volume focuses on the geology of the region. The authors describe the various rock types found in the region and discuss their origins. They also discuss the fossils found in the region, which provide evidence of the region's past climate and environment. Many of these discoveries were groundbreaking and contributed significantly to an understanding of Antarctica's history, particularly in relation to the Devonian period and the Gondwana supercontinent. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the geology and physiography of the Ross Sea region of Antarctica as understood at the beginning of the 20th century. Its detailed observations and meticulous documentation make it an invaluable resource for geologists and other scientists studying the region today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
