A fascinating account of Lieutenant Charles Wilkes's 19th Century exploration of vast tracts of the Pacific Ocean, including the new southern continent of Antarctica.
During the voyage they surveyed 280 islands, encountered murder and cannibalism, and returned with more specimens than all three of James Cook's voyages combined, but the expedition ended with an acrimonious court martial.
