Welcome to Antarctic History!

This is a list for anyone interested in discussing the history of exploration and explorers of the Antarctic. Join to discuss the death-defying Shackleton of the Endurance, the tragic Scott of the Terra Nova with his followers, Oates, Wilson, Bowers and Evans and the cool and accomplished Amundsen -- among others. Other polar interests are welcome, including the Arctic, as well as discussion of anything from science to travel.

Why not start by sharing how your interest in Antarctica and in the turn-of-the-century exploration began. . . .
