First Impressions: Antarctica

Antarctica is still a place of mystery after all these years. It still exists in almost completely pristine condition, but there are many stories to tell about the people who have ventured there...

In this book, Douglas R.G. Sellick gathers some of the most memorable accounts of Antarctica exploration. His aim is to offer "gripping autobiographical first impressions of travellers of all kinds to Antarctica." He accomplishes much more than that. In these pages, you get a sense of the wonder of this unknown landscape, but also of the bravery of the men who traversed the icy landscape. Read the review of "First Impressions: Antarctica."
