520			_aA century after Amundsen's triumph and Scott's tragedy, our fascination with Antarctica remains as acute as ever. This glorious visual history is not just a biography of these two incredible men, but of the South Pole itself. Examining a number of expeditions from those of the 'Heroic Age' to the present time, the book considers why people are still drawn to this bleak and inhospitable blank on the map - it remains an international stage for ambition and adventure, dreams and desire. This volume brings together a range of rare materials - unpublished Herbert Ponting photographs, artworks, ephemera and manuscripts from public and private collections. There is also a section discussing the great polar voyages, debating the culture of explorers as 'heroes' and the ongoing geographic and imaginative meaning of the South Pole. This will feature leading explorers, historians, scientists and polar experts of many nations, including Sir Ranulph Fiennes, Borge Ousland, Pen Hadow, Lynne Cox, Rosie Stancer, Reinhold Messner, Arved Fuchs, Mike Stroud, Don Walsh, Klaus Dodds, Beau Riffenburgh, Jan Huber, Paul Berkman, Roland Huntford, Susan Solomon and Max Jones.
