Antarctica is a vast and frozen continent and the potential home over which more than a dozen nations will contend. It is the "last land on the globe". This introductory book about Antarctica describes the known facts of its political history, its economic potential, the story of its exploration and the geography of its forbidding physical aspect. The book is illustrated by clear maps and diagrams and by photographs, most of which have not previously been published. There is a detailed index, and the comprehensive references cited at the end of each chapter indicate further studies for interested readers.
