It reassesses the evidence for why Europeans believed a massive southern continent existed, and why they advocated for its discovery. When ships were equal to ambitions, explorers set out to find and claim Terra Australis. Antipodes charts these voyages-voyages both through the imagination and across the High Seas-in pursuit of the mythical Terra Australis. In doing so, the question is asked: how could so many fail to see the realities they encountered? And how is it a mythical land held the gaze of an era famed for breaking free the shackles of superstition? That Terra Australis did not exist didn't stop explorers pursuing the continent, unwilling to abandon the promise of such a rich and magnificent land till it was stripped of every ounce of value it had ever promised. In the process, the southern continent-an imaginary land-became one of the shaping forces of early modern history. Includes 48 pages of b&w and colour images. 606 $aGeography, Ancient$xHistory 606 $aDiscoveries in geography$xEuropean$xHistory 606 $aExplorers$xHistory$y19th century 610 $aHistory 610 $aAntipodes 610 $aancient geography 610 $asouthern exploration 610 $ageographical exploration 610 $aexploration by sea 610 $adiscoveries in geography 610 $adiscovery of Australia 610 $acartography 610 $ahistorical cartography 610 $aimaginative cartography 610 $asouthern continent 610 $aCosmography 610 $aTerra Australis 615 0$aGeography, Ancient$xHistory. 615 0$aDiscoveries in geography$xEuropean$xHistory. 615 0$aExplorers$xHistory 676 $a910.93 700 $aStallard$b Avan Judd$0952376 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910151748203321 996 $aAntipodes$92152956 997 $aUNINA
