Antarctica gathers firsthand journals from fourteen explorers who faced the continent's fierce isolation and relentless weather. Edited by Charles Neider, the collection spans early voyages through landmark 19th– and 20th‑century expeditions.
Entries offer immediate, often stark reports of long marches, blizzards, crevasses and the daily work of survival. Readers will find voices from James Cook, Robert F. Scott and Richard E. Byrd alongside lesser‑known men whose journals record practical detail and personal endurance.
Clear, documentary in tone, the anthology is valuable for anyone interested in polar history, expedition studies, or historical travel writing.
