Description
Most people think of Antarctica as a white smudge at the bottom of a world map, yet it--as a landmass almost the size of Africa with weather and ocean currents that dominate the planet. In Blue Ice, award-winning travel writing Don Pinnock journeys to the seventh continent -- the last to be discovered. He explores what drew Cook, Bellingshausen, Shackleton, Scott and other adventurers and naturalists to this vast terrain. With sensitive descriptions and startling photography, he travels into the heart of Antarctica's wilderness and explores the intimate relationship between Cape Town and the frozen south.
