Reviews

“This is a well-conceptualized volume that makes an important contribution to Antarctic literature.” • Adrian Howkins, University of Bristol

Description

New approaches to studies of the Antarctic and adjacent ocean regions have emerged in recent years. Challenging the idea of a pristine, uninhabited continent, this book shows how materialities create, transform, and connect Antarctic worlds, revealing the region as a historically layered landscape deeply entangled with global histories, politics, and imaginaries. It explores how objects, infrastructures, and material practices have shaped human relations with Antarctica.

Daniella McCahey is an Assistant Professor at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, USA, where she mainly teaches classes on British history, public history, and the history of science. She has published widely on the history of polar and marine science and exploration in both academic and popular venues. She is the co-author of Antarctica: A History in 100 Objects (Conway, 2022).

Maria Ximena Senatore Connolly is Senior Researcher at the Institute of Heritage Sciences (Incipit), Spanish National Research Council (CSIC). She has published widely on Antarctic archaeology, polar heritage, and material culture.
