(3) 4-6 Myers capably chronicles major expeditions to Antarctica, from James Cook's 1772–1773 expedition to Richard Byrd's various excursions from 1928 to 1957, with appreciation for the planning required, hardships endured, and courage displayed. Quotations from primary sources authenticate the narrative, and the last chapters summarize ongoing research in the area. A few black-and-white photos and drawings illustrate the text; unfortunately, the main map is unclear. Timeline. Bib., ind.
