Antarctica: Journey to the South Pole

"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 science. The heroism and adventure - and the ultimate failure - of the expeditions are depicted in Myer's powerful prose, and through the photos, maps, and illustrations that complement the text." Scholastic
