With stunning, original photographs, an Antarctic scientist and explorer takes us to one of the most sublime, remote, and pristine regions on the planet. The interior of Antarctica is an utterly pristine wilderness, a desolate landscape of ice, wind, and rock; a landscape so unfamiliar as to seem of another world. This place has been known to only a handful of early explorers and the few scientists fortunate enough to have worked there. Edmund Stump is one of the lucky few. Having climbed, photographed, and studied more of the continent-spanning Transantarctic Mountains than any other person on Earth, this geologist, writer, and photographer is uniquely suited to share these alien sights. With stories of Stump's forty years of journeys and science, Otherworldly Antarctica contains 130 original, color photographs, complemented by watercolors and sketches by artist Marlene Hill Donnelly. Over three chapters--on the ice, the rock, and the wind--we meet snowy paths first followed during
