AB  - The vast polar region to our south may seem far removed from the daily lives of Australians, but it exerts a profound influence on our island continent, shaping not only our weather but also our sense of place and history.In 'Ice Bound', Dr Joy McCann uses stories of exploration and adventure, exploitation and conservation, culture, science and governance to examine the history of Australia's involvement with Antarctica. Read about the experiences of Australians who have been moved by the region's savage beauty, inspired to live and work there, or drawn to make sense of its secrets.Illustrated with more than 200 historic images from the National Library of Australia, stunning contemporary landscape photographs and documentary images taken by the scientists themselves, this is a beautiful and galvanising selection of Australian stories from the polar south.
