Antarctic Journeys

Description

Antarctica is a fascinating place – it has no native inhabitants, and it’s very remote and difficult to get to. That means everyone who goes there – today or in the past – has a special reason for wanting to go. It’s a place that children can only imagine. Antarctic Journeys is about the journeys – historic and contemporary, human and animal, large and small. It bulids up an overall picture of Antarctic history, geography, science and wildlife.

Image rich, using photographs, maps and paintings, it also draws on letters, diaries, newspaper and eye-witness reports from the days of early exploration, as well as later research and interviews. Other features of Antarctic Journeys include biographies, maps, a timeline and glossary.
