There have been many books about Antarctica in the past, but all
have focused on only one aspect of the continent - its science, its
wildlife, the heroic age of exploration, personal experiences or
the sheer awesome beauty of the landscape- but none have managed to
capture the whole story, until now. Gabrielle Walker, author,
consultant to New Scientist and regular broadcaster with the BBC
has written a book unlike any that has ever been written about the
continent. Antarctica weaves all the significant threads into an
intricate tapestry, made up of science, natural history, poetry,
epic history, what it feels like to be there and why it draws so
many different kinds of people back there again and again. It is
only when all the parts come together that the underlying truths of
the continent emerge. Antarctica is the most alien place on Earth,
the only part of our planet where humans could never survive
unaided. It is truly like walking on another planet. And yet, in
its silence, its agelessness and its mysteries lie the secrets of
our past, and of our future.
