Having always been fascinated by these singular landscapes, Sergio
Rossi reconstructs some of the episodes that have marked the
exploration of these territories, such as the dramatic race between
Amundsen and Scott to conquer the South Pole, and Captain
Shackleton's odyssey to save his crew from certain death. But also
modern trips including his own to these remote areas, explaining
many aspects of the current science and political competition that
is underway. The book leads us on an entertaining overview of all
the problems and opportunities that the planet's most forgotten
continent offers to humans. A remote mass of ice upon which our
future as a species depends and which we cannot continue to ignore
any longer.
