Antartic Navigation by Elizabeth Arthur
This book was published in 1996 but I think it’s just been released here. It’s a great, big, fat novel about a girl Morgan Lamont “who is obsessed with the life and death of British explorer Robert Scott, and jumps at the chance to become the first woman to lead an expedition to the South Pole and sets out to recreate Scott’s British Antarctic Expedition of 1910-1912. Antarctic Navigation has romance, high adventure, science and philosophy, and a gripping adventure story” What else do you want? A little over written it’s very dense with lots of detail but strangely haunting and it’s fascinating just reading about Scott and how he ended up in The South Pole (dead!)
