A Memory of Ice presents the science and the excitement of that voyage in a manner readable for non-scientists. Woven into the modern story is the history of early explorers, scientists and navigators who had gone before into the Southern Ocean. The departure of the Glomar Challenger from Fremantle took place 100 years after the HMS Challenger weighed anchor from Portsmouth, England, at the start of its four-year voyage, sampling and dredging the world?s oceans. Sailing south, the Glomar Challenger crossed the path of James Cook?s HMS Resolution, then on its circumnavigation of Antarctica in search of the Great South Land. Encounters with Lieutenant Charles Wilkes of the US Exploring Expedition and Douglas Mawson of the Australasian Antarctic Expedition followed. In the Ross Sea, the voyages of the HMS Erebus and HMS Terror under James Clark Ross, with the young Joseph Hooker as botanist, were ever present. The story of the Glomar Challenger?s iconic voyage is largely told through the diaries of the author, then a young scientist experiencing science at sea for the first time. It weaves together the physical history of Antarctica with how we have come to our current knowledge of the polar continent. This is an attractive, lavishly illustrated and curiosity-satisfying read for the general public as well as for scholars of science." 606 $aAntarctica$2bicssc 606 $aAutobiography: science, technology & medicine$2bicssc 606 $aPalaeontology$2bicssc 607 $aAntarctica 610 $aAntarctica 610 $aautobiography 610 $apalaeontology 610 $atravel 615 7$aAntarctica 615 7$aAutobiography: science, technology & medicine 615 7$aPalaeontology 700 $aTruswell$b Elizabeth$0992259 712 02$aAustralian National University Press. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910340845203321 996 $aA memory of ice$92272015 997 $aUNINA
