Before the Heroes Came: Antarctica in the 1890s
T. H. Baughman
Although the Antarctic ice pack and some offshore islands had been sighted and landed upon briefly as early as the 1820s, it was not until Anglo-Norwegian explorer, Carsten F Borchgrevink, went ashore in 1895 that a human being set foot on the Antarctic continent. This book provides an account of the first tentative human gropings in Antarctica.
