Antarctica is the coldest, driest, most inhospitable continent, but was it always that way? What is it about this Lovecraftian horror of a continent that has made people want to explore it for the past thousand years? From the mythical man named de Gonneville to the bull-headed royal hydrographer, Alexander Dalrymple, the history of the frozen continent is full of deceit, prostitutes, power-struggles, cute animals getting killed, and lots of blood, like a real-life, frozen Game of Thrones!
