But when a man claims that he can translate her dialect, it is understood that the woman is a princess from a far away land.
Princess Caraboo is simultaneously a wonderful fairy tale of a lost princess who survives harrowing adventures in a foreign land, and also a light treatment of a period of social unrest and class struggle in historic England.
The social commentary is touched upon only lightly and occasionally, making the resolution to the question of the princess somewhat of a letdown; we aren't really given anough information to understand how she got to where she did.

These explorers ‘discovered’ a land that was bigger in area than either Europe or the United States and Mexico combined, but an inhospitable land, with an ice cap measuring 13,000ft thick in places and covering 96% of the continent’s surface.
Such bleak conditions, together with months of darkness make for a land where it is impossible for land mammals to survive, although whales and seals populate the surrounding seas, feeding off the masses of ‘krill’ there.
This complete absence of predatory land mammals on Antarctica has proved to be a great attraction for birds, with Emperor penguins, Antarctic petrels and South Polar skuas breeding there and nowhere else.

As stated by Colonel Harold Z Ohlmeyer in his letter (July 6, 1960) to you, the Princess Martha Coast of Queen Maud land, Antarctica appears to be truly represented on the southern sector of the Piri Reis Map.
This map certainly does not resemble the subglacial bedrock topography of Antarctica, for example, Wilkes Land, which the Oronteus Fineaus map shows as solid land is occupied almost entirely by two large subsea basins and an archipelago of bedrock islands.
The map also fails to show the Amery basin, which in either a partially or completely deglaciated Antarctica would be occupied by a 430 to 500 mile long bay lying perpendicular to the coast of Antarctica between Princess Elizabeth land and Mac Robertson land.

 INTRODUCTION
There is evidence for grounding of the ice sheet at the shelf edge in many places (e.g., Mac.Robertson Land [Harris et al., 1996], eastern Ross Sea [Shipp et al., 1999; Domack et al., 1999], and Antarctic Peninsula [Pusdsey et al., 1994]).
Four Ladies Bank is separated from the Princess Elizabeth Land coast by a series of deeps and saddles collectively known as the Svenner Channel.
O'Brien and Harris (1996) inferred that the Prydz Channel and Fan developed in the early to mid-Pliocene, when the amount of ice accumulating in Princess Elizabeth Land on the southeastern side of Prydz Bay increased to the point where it deflected the flow of the main Lambert-Amery system westward.
