To most people, Antarctica is the white smudge at the bottom of a world map. Few realise that it's almost the size of Africa and that its wild weather and currents dominate the planet. Fewer, still, know that Cape Town has been the gateway to Antarctic expeditions for hundreds of years. Cook, Shackleton, Scott and many more all began their southern voyages from Table Bay. This book explores the frozen continent and the voyages of discovery from an African perspective - and comes up with some surprising connections.

Descrizione libro Author's presentation inscription to half-title. 244 x 168 mm; laminated pictorial wrappers; pp. 175; lavishly illustrated with full-colour photographs. Fine condition. "Most people think of Antarctica as a white smudge at the bottom of a world map. Yet it's a landmass almost the size of Africa with weather and ocean currents that dominate the planet. In Blue Ice, award-winning travel writer 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 to the heart of Antarctica's wilderness and explores the relationship between Cape Town and the frozen south. This is an extravagant travelogue, which paints a vivid portrait of one of the most remote and unforgiving places on earth. It reveals the extremes of adventure, courage and unspoilt beauty with precision, humour and a sense of wonder.". Codice articolo 10730
