Description
Sourced from polar institutions and collections around the world, the objects that tell the story of this remarkable continent range from the iconic to the exotic, from the refreshingly mundane to the indispensable: snow goggles adopted from Inuit technology by Amundsen, the lifeboat used by Shackleton and his crew, a bust of Lenin installed by the 3rd Soviet Antarctic Expedition, and many more. It presents a gloriously visual history of Antarctica, from Terra Incognita to the legendary expeditions of Shackleton and Scott, to the frontline of climate change.
