The Seventh Continent: A History Of The Discovery And Explorations Of Antarctica by Helen S. Wright is a comprehensive account of the exploration and discovery of the seventh continent - Antarctica. Starting from the early days of exploration, the book traces the history of Antarctic exploration, from the first sighting by Captain James Cook in 1773 to the modern-day scientific expeditions. The book covers the major expeditions, including those of Robert Falcon Scott, Ernest Shackleton, and Roald Amundsen, as well as the scientific research that has been conducted on the continent in recent years. The book also includes information on the geography, climate, and wildlife of Antarctica, as well as the challenges and dangers faced by explorers in this harsh environment. The Seventh Continent is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in the history of exploration or the natural world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
