The author spent seven months in Antarctica, " ... travelling from the fable Ross Ice Shelf to the Pole itself, the remoter beaches of the West Antarctic ice sheet, and the balmy Antarctic Peninsular. Terra Incognita is a meditation on the landscape, myths and history of one of the remotest parts of the globe, as well as an encounter with the international temporary residents of the region – living in close confinement despite the surrounding acres of white space – and the mechanics of day-to-day life in extraordinary conditions." – from the rear panel blurb.
