Author, journalist, and explorer David Burke was smitten with Antarctica on his first visit in 1958. Fortythree years later he made his sixth trip south aboard a 12,000 ton Russian icebreaker, Kapitan Khlebnikov. The captain and crew's objective was to go farther south than any ship had sailed before. In Voyage to the End of the World, Burke documents his journey from Hobart, Australia, across the Southern Ocean to the Ross Sea region and ultimately to the farthest edge of the Great Ice Barrier. En route, the passengers encountered B15, the world's largest recorded iceberg. Interspersed with reports and documents from the early luminaries of exploration such as Amundsen, Scott, Shackleton, and Byrd (who all launched their expeditions from bases on the barrier), Burke's account illustrates just how much the Antarctic has changed in the past century. Filled with contemporary and historical photographs, Voyage to the End of the World is a fascinating, highly enjoyable work that will interest polar enthusiasts as well as armchair travelers intrigued with the historic exploits of the brave and foolhardy. First North American edition.
