Poles Apart: Fascination, Fame and Folly
| The last two frontiers on Earth, the Antarctic and the Arctic, are the stuff of heroes, heartache, courage, mystery, misery, endurance and loss. All these and more are captured in the pages of Poles Apart: Fascination, Fame and Folly. This wonderful book lays out, in a series of snapshots, mankind's incredible persistent battle in firstly taming and secondly understanding our amazing icy wilderness. The Royal Society of Tasmania's library and rare book collection provides the source of the historical accounts in this book, including some of the earliest maps of these regions.
