A Book of Discovery The History of the World's Exploration, From the Earliest Times to the Finding of the South Pole

by M. B. (Margaret Bertha) Synge

About this book

A connected account of geographical discovery, moving from early journeys and sea routes to the exploration of the polar regions.

From the opening pages: “Such was the spirit in which the exploration of the world was accomplished. It was the inspiration that carried men of old far beyond the sunrise into those magic and silent seas whereon no boat had ever sailed. It is the incentive of those to-day with the wander-thirst in their souls, who travel and suffer in the travelling, though there are fewer prizes left to win.…”
