- Description or summary of the audiobook: An absorbing history, bringing explorers'tales vividly to life Apsley Cherry-Garrard, one of the men who went to Antarctica with Captain Scott, said'Polar exploration is at once the cleanest and most isolated way of having a bad time that has ever been devised.'Yet there has never been a shortage of volunteers willing to endure the bad times in pursuit of the glory that polar exploration sometimes brings.This compelling book tells the memorable stories of the men and women who have risked their lives by entering the white wastelands of the Arctic and the Antarctic, from the compelling tales of Scott, Shackleton, and Amundsen, to lesser known heroes such as Fridtjof Nansen and Robert Peary.This historyalso looks at the hold that the polar regions have often had on the imaginations of artists and writers in the last200 years examining the paintings, films, and literature that they have inspired.'
