Antarctica; the Last Continent
Cameron, Ian
Little Brown & Co Boston 1974 First American Edition
quarto - over 9¾" - 12" Tall Green Cloth 256pp., bibliography, index, black and white and colour illustrations and maps. " Antarctica - five and a half million square miles of windswept ice - is the most desolate, yet in some ways the most beautiful area on earth. Its exploration has been a unique challenge; a contest between nature at her most awe-inspiring and man at his most inquisitive. The Ancients concept of Antarctica was of a Great Southern Continent filled with 'Brazil Wood,Elephants and Gold,' but the voyages of the sealers into the tempestuous waters south of Cape Horn, and early explorations culminating in Cook's brilliant achievements, brought about man's first groping contact with the new continent and finally disproved the theories of a fabulous, populated landmass. The first sighting of the mainland is attributed to the little-known Russian, Thaddeus von Bellinghausen, whose landfall, due to the time lag of the Julian Calendar, is proved conclusively to have predated those of his British and American contemporaries. The accolade of the first landing, is awarded to the New England sealer John Davis, whose ship's log has only recently been discovered. The tragic depredations of the whalers, the race for the South Pole and the tragedy of Scott's last journey, the first crossing of the continent by the British Antarctic Expedition and the establishment of scientific observatories are among the further highlights of this story of man's presence on Antarctica. The illustrations complements and enhance the text. They include rare prints from the Soviet Union, original and unpublished paintings recently discovered in a British museum, and photographs by some of the world's leading photographers". The author concludes with a summary of our present knowledge of Antarctica and its future in the light of recent geological findings. The dustwrapper has several small tears and edgewear; previous owner's name in ink on front endpaper, front foldover creased. Antarctica Good
