Published to coincide with the centenary of the first expeditions to reach the South Pole, An Empire of Ice presents a fascinating new take on Antarctic exploration. Retold with added information, it's the first book to place the famed voyages of Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen, his British rivals Robert Scott and Ernest Shackleton, and others in a larger scientific, social, and geopolitical context.

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
No one. It is rubbish
What was most disappointing about Edward J. Larson’s story?
It is poorly researched and full of inaccuracies. Dates, Places, Distance are massively wrong in so many places. These are not small mistakes but problems that change the scope of the story. Shackleton made it to 87 degrees on Nimrod, not 82. Scott only got to 82 degrees years earlier. The Fram expedition ended in Spitzbergen, it did not begin there etc and so it goes on.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
The narration was ok
What character would you cut from An Empire of Ice?
Do some research first, lots of research.
Any additional comments?
Do not waste your time or money on this.
