Davis was arguably the greatest of the captains in the age of Antarctic exploration. His seven voyages from 1907 to 1930 gave him unrivalled experience in ice navigation. His caution and natural pessimism often brought him into conflict with expedition leaders such as Douglas Mawson. Taken from his private journals, here for the first time is Davis's account of his major Antarctic voyages. View more info

The McMurdo Dry Valleys form the largest relatively ice free area on the Antarctic continent. The perennially ice covered lakes, ephemeral streams, and extensive areas of exposed soil are subject to low temperatures, limited precipitation, and salt accumulation. The dry valleys thus represent a region where life approaches its environmental limits. This unique ecosystem has been studied for decades as an analog to environments on other planets. For the first time, the de... View more info
