Here is an insight into Arctic and Antarctic explorations, the achievements and disasters. The Inuit had already populated the north - in the south the Polynesian Ui-Te-Rangior had sailed his canoe to a place where the sea was frozen. Of those who sought the north-west passage, whole expeditions perished. And the race for poles has always been fascinating. This shows the landscape, maps, colour and b/w photos.
