Ever since Captain Cook sailed into the Great Southern Ocean in
1773, mankind has sought to push back the boundaries of Antarctic
exploration. The first expeditions tried simply to chart
Antarctica's coastline, but then the Sixth International
Geographical Congress of 1895 posed a greater challenge: the
conquest of the continent itself. Many would die in the attempt.
Icy Graves uses the tragic tales not only of famous explorers like
Robert Falcon Scott and Aeneas Mackintosh, but also of many
lesser-known figures, both British and international, to plot the
forward progress of Antarctic exploration. It tells, often in their
own words, the compelling stories of the brave men and women who
have fallen in what Sir Ernest Shackleton called the 'White Warfare
of the South'.
