Publisher's Synopsis
A journey to Antarctica changes your life. It forces you to take a long hard look at the state of our planet and its last wild places... Antarctica promises man the chance to do something that he has never done before - commit to the preservation of a vast wilderness, simply because it exists. Here the Scotts tell the story of their modern-day exploration of this extreme continent, a journey through the magnificent icy landscape, to explore the wildlife of this rare sanctuary, and reflect on the experiences of early explorers, and on the relationship between man and the wildlife in this remote and spectacular environment.
