Exploring the Extreme

Welcome to All Things Antarctic, the web site for intrepid Antarctic adventurers, travelers, and dreamers. My name is Marilyn J. Landis, and I am the author of two books about Antarctica. I have traveled to Antarctica eleven times as a visitor and shipboard lecturer to gather research material for my books.

By creating this Web site, I want to share with you what I have learned about this great white wilderness. Included are details about the many historical sites and landmarks found in each of the four Antarctic regions and subantarctic islands. You will also discover sections about the history of those who first explored the coastal areas and the interior, descriptions of the unique wildlife, and explanations about the formation and motion of the pervasive ice. I hope that as you navigate All Things Antarctic, you too will feel the lure of a continent of mesmerizing beauty and interest.
