| Synopsis: |
Antarctica is a vast, desolate place that is truly unlike any other on earth. Featuring a 1300-mile-long mountain range, 200 mph winds, and less precipitation than the Sahara Desert, the continent is both forbidding and spectacular. Author William Fox spent months traveling and studying this massive continent, and in "Terra Antarctica he has combined his experiences with the rich artistic and scientific history of Antarctica in an attempt to understand this amazing place. Fox recounts unnerving experiences like being caught in a whiteout, camping on the volcano Mount Erebus during a hurricane, and taking frigid hikes past the edge of the mapped world. Fox also relates conversations with other researchers he encounters during his travels, and analyzes how our understanding of Antarctica has impacted our understanding of ourselves. Insightful and penetrating, "Terra Antarctica combines multiple lines of study to reveal how humans have come to understand one of the world's strangest places. |
