$17.00 CAD

pp. 472, includes many black and white illustrations, maps and photographs throughout. “Based on over fifteen years of research, ‘Antarctica Unveiled’ tells the story of Robert Falcon Scott’s first Antarctic expedition, an expedition that has largely been erased from public perception by the mass attention devoted to the drama of his last expedition. The book concludes with an account of the buildup of the race for the Pole that was the almost inevitable aftermath of Scott’s achievement. Illustrated with more than 40 remarkable black and white photographs, ‘Antarctica Unveiled’ is a must for the armchair traveller, historian, and Antarctic enthusiast.”
