To people who haven’t been there, Antarctica seems remote, extreme and perhaps even forbidding. Yet everybody who has visited comes back full of enthusiasm, with amazing memories and stunning photos. The author inspires interest in this amazing place while encouraging responsible, informed and sustainable tourism.She helps you to decide where and when to go, whether to include South Georgia and/or the Falklands, how to read between the lines of an itinerary, which operator to book with and what size of ship will suit you best. She provides practical information about weather, clothing and photography, and gives links to useful websites and further reading. She covers various specialist options from sea kayaking to camping on the ice.The wildlife section is lavishly illustrated with photos of creatures ranging from tiny krill through seabirds and penguins to seals, dolphins and whales with their amazing adaptations. Understanding their breeding cycles helps you to anticipate what you will see at different times of year. Specially commissioned mapping lets you understand the trade-offs between different itineraries. Graphics and over 100 colour photos support the concise text which is informed by the author’s personal experiences.Antarctica’s ice cap stores 90% of the world’s freshwater ice, and it is a crucial place for climate monitoring and other scientific research. The author explains the 1959 Antarctic Treaty, and the Madrid and Montreal Protocols, and their implications both for the continent and for visitors on cruise ships. She interprets the formation of icebergs and glaciers, how the climate varies over different parts of Antarctica and how Antarctic ice affects sea levels.The guide covers the history of Antarctica’s discovery and exploration, not only the Scott/Amundsen famous race to the South Pole and Shackleton’s extraordinary rescue, but also the less-known achievements of Douglas Mawson. The story is updated with the Jarvis recreations of Mawson’s and Shackleton’s famous journeys, and the discovery of the Endurance shipwreck, 107 years after the ship was crushed and sank.Use this book to plan your adventure of a lifetime, but be warned: many who visit Antarctica end up trying to return.

A lost civilization in Antarctica. A map that shouldn’t exist. And a truth the world isn’t ready for.  In November 2002, an elite U.S. Navy SEAL team is sent to Antarctica to rescue a missing film crew. They return empty-handed—except for one thing: mysterious footage of strange artifacts buried deep beneath the ice. Everyone who views the film receives a chilling warning: speak of what you've seen and face the consequences. More than a decade later, Professor Charles Summers stumbles upon an impossible discovery—a 16th-century map depicting Antarctica’s coastline with astonishing accuracy. Even NASA scientists are forced to update their own modern surveys.  But how could such a map exist three centuries before Antarctica was officially discovered? Who created these maps? How did they see Antarctica before it was buried in ice? Could an ancient civilization have once thrived there? But science says Antarctica has been frozen for millions of years…Determined to uncover the truth, Summers and the Rossler Foundation launch an expedition deep into the icy wilderness. But they’re not the only ones searching. The ruthless Orion Society will stop at nothing to ensure the past stays buried. As the race for history’s greatest secret turns deadly, will Summers and his team rewrite history—or will the truth be lost forever beneath the ice?Ninth Cycle Antarctica is the second thrilling installment in JC Ryan’s acclaimed Rossler Foundation Mystery series, blending historical mystery, international conspiracy and pulse-pounding action. ________________________________________________________Praise for the Rossler Foundation Mystery series:  ? ? ? ? ?

Antarctica. Winter 1912.Hunkering down in the windiest place on earth, eighteen young Australians eagerly await a chance to prove themselves as polar explorers and scientists. The spring sledging season will bring adventure, danger, and the discovery of new lands under the command of Douglas Mawson. But tragedy also lies in wait.Douglas Mawson''s tale is legendary, an epic struggle between one man''s self-belief and the worst conditions the hostile polar environment can throw at him. His journey represents not only a feat of physical endurance but also a triumph of the human spirit''s ability to conjure hope when luck has all but run out.Praise for previous books in this polar adventure series:''Into the White: Scott''s Antarctic Odyssey.''For thrill-seeking middle school students who love nonfiction adventure stories...the adventures of Scott and his crew don''t disappoint.'' - School Library Journal''Joanna Grochowicz''s narrative non-fiction brings to life characters and events without skimping on historical fact.
