The Discovery of Antarctica⭐World Discovery Story⭐@WowStoryBook

Описание: Welcome to @WowStoryBook!
For two thousand years cartographers drew a continent at the bottom of the world they had never seen — the ancient Greeks called it Terra Australis Incognita, the Unknown Southern Land, and put it on every map as a matter of theoretical necessity. Then in the southern summer of 1820 three different expeditions from three different countries — American seal hunters, a British naval survey, a Russian scientific expedition — all saw the same icy coast at almost exactly the same moment and still couldn't agree who saw it first. What they had found was the most extreme place on earth — the coldest the highest the driest the windiest continent, surrounded by the most violent ocean in the world, hidden behind pack ice that stopped the greatest navigator of the age of sail and killed some of the bravest men who ever lived trying to reach its pole. And now the ice that kept it secret for two thousand years is telling us the most important story the earth has left to tell. This is the complete extraordinary story of the last continent.
