Books with title ANTARCTICA.

They Found The Holiest Land! Now You Can Explore It!Antarctica in 75+ New Jaw Dropping NASA Grade Maps!The whole continent in pinpoint detail!You can't argue with a map!What can I tell you? The shock I experienced when I first viewed these maps of Antarctica shattered my mind. I experienced a complete collapse of reality. You can’t find this stuff on Google Maps. What I saw could not possibly exist. It had no precedents at all in the modern world. Whole mountains merely carven statues? Spaceport megacities? brilliantly illumined? buzzing with activity? Resting in tropical hued splendor? In this, the most forbidding, treacherous climate imaginable???? So, of course, I had to descend into this madness further, further.. one lost mariner stealing snapshots of secrets not secret anymore. Here only The Southern Cross keeps constant fix. Everything else just spins spins spins.....The first wave of European Antarctic explorers- heroes all- returned babbling. Those with no knowledge or imagination dismissed such sights, so easily scoffed at, as hysterical nonsense. Obviously such tales were just incoherent rantings, sad confirmations that the brutal ice kingdoms were no lands for the foolish to challenge.Fortunately, stronger souls discerned in those heroes' fevered ramblings hints of obscure, quaint legends from long lost times before time. But those stories were kept by simple polar dwellers a whole planet away- aboriginals of the high Canadian arctic. Was there any connection between the two?Did Canadian Inuit tales of a magical world within a luminous Aurora Borealis hold the key? We haven’t dug far enough to know what’s really down there, have we? Our deepest dig, a 12 mile deep hole, isn’t quite the center of the earth, is it?These were just the first waves of uninvited, colonial wanderers who fell off the edge of the world. We've come a long way since. We know better now. Soon NASA will even tell us whether the moon’s a rock?… a balloon?… a clock, perhaps! Can the same be said for this terra firma? This selection of maps will help you find some answers to impossible questions like these. It contains many of the most astonishing, overview snapshots of past antediluvian- prior to major comet destruction?- civilizations readily visible to casual observers of the digital continent. Now you can visit otherworldly archaeological sites too! Mystic Antarctica is truly a book that sells itself among readers of this genre. I invite you to take a look inside Mystic Antarctica. After all, we’ve come this far. Why turn back now?

In the whirling noise of our advancing technological age, we are seemingly never alone, never out-of-touch with the barrage of electronic data and information.Felicity Aston, physicist and meteorologist, took two months off from all human contact as she became the first woman -- and only the third person in history – to ski across the entire continent of Antarctica alone. She did it, too, with the simple apparatus of cross-country, without the aids used by her prededecessors – two Norwegian men – each of whom employed either parasails or kites.Aston’s journey across the ice at the bottom of the world asked of her the extremes in terms of mental and physical bravery, as she faced the risks of unseen cracks buried in the snow so large they might engulf her and hypothermia due to brutalizing weather. She had to deal, too, with her emotional vulnerability in face of the constant bombardment of hallucinations brought on by the vast sea of whiteness, the lack of stimulation to her senses as she faced what is tantamount to a form of solitary confinement.Like Cheryl Strayed’s Wild, Felicity Aston’s Alone in Antarctica becomes an inspirational saga of one woman’s battle through fear and loneliness as she honestly confronts both the physical challenges of her adventure, as well as her own human vulnerabilities.
