Description
Summary:This extremely comprehensive record of the human history of the exploration of Antarctica and the sub-Antarctic Southern Ocean covers pre-discovery speculation, early circumnavigations in the Southern Hemisphere, commercial sealing and whaling in the Southern Ocean, the Heroic Age of Antarctic exploration, the Inter-war Year expeditions and the pre-modern era leading to the 19571958 International Geophysical Year (IGY). This history ends after the IGY, when the Antarctic had been basically explored and was occupied by permanent stations.
