"As he reveals, the impact of Cook's voyages to Antarctica not only affected the history of science and political economy, but also inspired such works as Melville's Moby Dick and Coleridge's Rime of the Ancient Mariner. The tragedy of Scott's polar expedition after Cook, was to herald a new age of modernism in art and science. By exploring such areas of thought and imagination Stephen Pyne finds a context for evoking and understanding the ice itself. As a study of the polar region and a history of discovery and exploration the book is indispensable. It is an all-encompassing guide to a continent which remains the ultimate symbol of the natural world." .
