Writer and Antarctic explorer Neider tells of his third trip to the
frozen continent, describing the international stations there and the
goals they are working toward. Neider also tours the Antarctic
landscape, observing the geography and wildlife and evoking it in
detail. Devoting scrutiny to the international treaties that protect the
continent politically and environmentally, Neider reveals how important
those treaties are. Also included in this work are interviews with
Antarctic pioneers Sir Charles Wright, Sir Vivian Fuchs, and Laurence
Gould.
