The
British Empire of the Victorian era was enormous and diverse. At one end of the
political spectrum was India, where Britain ruled as heir to the Mughals. On
the other end was Pitcairn, a dot of an island in the southern Pacific Ocean of
less than two square miles whose population, descendants of mutineers and their
Tahitian companions, peaked at around two hundred. In between were
constellations of red swaths, blotches, and dots on global maps that
represented British possessions on every continent save Antarctica.

is only seeing and, in order to go to see, one must be a pirate.

This book, which I ordered
from London and reread a thousand times, filled me with longing to see with my
own eyes the strange continent, last Thule of the South, which lies on our maps
and globes like a white cloud, a void, fringed here and there with scraps of
coastline, dubious capes, supposititious islands, headlands that may or may not
be there: Antarctica. And the desire was as pure as the polar snows: to go, to
see – no more; no less.

There
are those who would impatiently ask, “What is the use of it all?” The answer is
brief. Bound up with the mystery of the seventh continent are volumes of data
of vital importance to science, and economic problems which may become of the
moment in the near future.
