  From Captain Scott's last diary entry in the blizzards of Antarctica to Stanley struggling lost and alone through the Congo, this collection of eyewitness accounts by the great explorers and adventurers of yesterday presents the opening-up of the world as living history. John Keay has selected the passages, provided an introduction to the book and editorial notes on each account. Each exploration is also accompanied by a full-page map, and 16 pages of black-and-white archival photographs are included.
