LES PÔLES

Editions Flammarion

Long considered Terra Incognita, lost at the ends of the earth, the poles hardly appear on world maps. To the North, the Arctic Ocean is covered with an ice pack several meters thick. To the South, Antarctica, a vast continent of ice encircled by the Southern Ocean. This book is a tribute to the commitment of the men who set out to discover these hostile lands. Tormented by cold and hunger, with no certainty of tomorrow, these pioneers wrote some of the most beautiful pages of heroism, hitherto unsuspected in human nature.
