More than a distant continent; Antarctica is a land of the imagination; shaping and shaped for centuries by explorers; adventurers; scientists; and dreamers. The Entire Earth and Sky; a kaleidoscope of legends; stories; field notes; images; reports; history; letters; and research; renders an impression; both vast and microscopic; of the effect of human beings on the land we call Antarctica; and its effect on us. It balances the reality of the frigid outpost populated by a ragtag alliance of international researchers against the crystalline dreamscape of a continent at the bottom of the world.
