I you are interested in Antarctica two recent reads I highly recommend:
1912, the Year the World Discovered Antarctica (Chris Turney, 2012). Turney writes of the five different national expeditions exploring Antarctica in 1912.
http://www.amazon.com/1912-Year-Worl...red+Antarctica
Antarctica, An Intimate Portrait of a Mysterious Continent (Gabrielle Walker, 2013). Walker visits most of the research stations in Antarctica and looks at the science being done there.
http://www.amazon.com/Antarctica-Int...ious+Continent
Trivia tidbit from Turney’s book; back in the day there were other “poles”, including the Cold Pole, the Pole of Variability and the Pole(s) of Inaccessibility.
