Mountaineering in Antarctica

Climbing in the Frozen South

This illustrated book is the first to introduce the reader – climbers and non-
climbers alike – to the numerous mountain ranges, summits and remote inland
regions of the Antarctic. This is a book intended for mountain and travel
lovers interested in discovering what is probably the largest unexplored
stretch of land on the planet. For the first time, readers will be able to
contemplate the hidden treasures of the great South and discover its most
remote mountain regions.

The publication focuses on the mountains of Antarctica and will appeal to a
wider public than strictly climbers by including numerous descriptions of the
mountain ranges’ geography and glaciology; exploration and travel history;
profiles of adventurers; climbers and sailors; many anecdotes; practical
information, etc.

Being a mountaineering book, it also contains unique practical information
intended for all who plan an expedition in these regions (technical data;
routes; approaches; equipment; transport, etc.).
A large number of original high quality photos and specially drawn maps
illustrate the book. Part narrative, part guidebook and part ‹coffee-table›
book and beautifully crafted – it is a one off.
