description: <DIV>Praise for <I>1912</I><BR><BR>"Turney successfully conveys the heroism and flaws of the early explorers as they challenged the preternatural dangers of Antarctica."&#151;<I>Publishers Weekly</I><BR><BR>"As the last continent to be discovered and explored, the history of Antarctica is relatively short; the first recorded landfall on the continent wasn't until 1821. [And] while each expedition could easily merit its own book, Turney adroitly manages to give a full portrait of each explorer and crew with giving any short shrift."&#151;<I>Kirkus</I><br></DIV>
