Description:Antarctic Conquest is in the great tradition of books of adventure that G. P. Putnam's have published--books by such men as Admiral Byrd, Charles Lindbergh, William Beebe, Roy Chapman Andrews, Bob Bartlett. It is the story of an amazing trip to the end of the world--told realistically and vividly, superbly illustrated with photographs and maps.Commander Finn Ronne's fifteen month expedition to the Antarctic in 1946-1948 was a milestone in a distinguished career of polar exploration. His group consisted of twenty-three members, only eight of whom had ever been to sea. In a converted Navy tug they sailed from Beaumont, Texas, to the frozen South, there to carry on scientific studies and hazardous explorations which, it developed, were record breaking in terms of achievement. Graphically, and always modestly, Commander Ronne describes the feats of daring, ingenuity, and fortitude that resulted in the contribution of so many vital facts important to the sum of human knowledge. The discoveries included weather, geological, and terrestrial observations, tidal readings, seismograph recordings, and aerial mapping. By dog sled, by tractor, by plane, they covered more than a quarter-million square miles of new territory. Telling the story, the author points up the human side as well--the life on the ship and in camp, the inevitable personality problems, the thrilling flights over the unbelievable frozen grandeur never before seen by man, the situations of danger and discomfort.Antarctic Conquest is for those interested in science and for those readers who like true adventure.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
