Four Antarctic Reviews in the South Orkney Islands: An Annotated Translation Cuatro A?os en las Orcadas del Sur, by José Manuel Moneta; Translates by Kathleen Skilton and Kenn Back; edited by Robert K. Headland

摘要

This book is an account of four winters spent in the South Orkneys by the Argentine Manuel Moneta in the 1920s, as observer and leader of a team at the Argentine base on Laurie Island. Antarctic affairs were then in a period of change: international interest in the Antarctic, initially inspired by depletion of whales in the Arctic, had been growing, and now questions of sovereignty were arising.
