Why read it?
1 author picked Antarctic Navigation as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This long (my copy is nearly 800 pages) and gripping adventure story obsessed me for a while, and I read it multiple times. I knew it was fiction, but I got so caught up in the characters, the story, and the location that it felt intensely real to me.
The narrator is a woman called Morgan Lamont, who is recreating Scott’s expedition, hauling a sled to the South Pole, and she’s still one of my all-time favorite fictional heroines.
From Rebecca's list on Antarctic travel science and climate by women.
