About This Book
Walter Dean Myers brings the dramatic race to the South Pole to life in Antarctica, tracking the explorers of the South Pole — including James Cook, Ernest Shackleton, and Richard Evelyn Bird — and the dangers they encountered there, as well as their contributions to modern science. The heroism and adventure — and sometimes the ultimate failure — of the expeditions are depicted in Myers's powerful prose, and through photos, maps, and illustrations that complement the text.
