 Amazon.com: Terra Incognita: Travels in Antarctica: Sara Wheeler: Books
And yet, there is something about Antarctica that beckons people; eighty years after Shackleton's voyage, Sara Wheeler answered the call, leaving her comfortable home for "the Great White." Terra Incognita is the result of her sojourn in that legendary land.
In addition to chronicling her own encounters with the people and the place, Wheeler brings the past alive as well, through vivid stories about the heroes of polar exploration: Shackleton, Scott, Amundsen, and others who practically become secondary characters in Wheeler's account.
But it is her interactions with the living people who make up the community--scientists, drifters, and dreamers who have settled this forbidding landscape--that make Terra Incognita a rare and worthy book.

Terra Incógnita was born in 1995, to give logistic support to foreign expeditions in the Chilean Andes, because we are not a simple Travel Agency or Adventure Travel Company, we give climbers only what they need, our mission is to give the best possible service and rates to our customers.
The most tedious task in any expedition abroad is to deal with local authorities, permits and local service suppliers, which in Latin America are proved not to be the most reliable ones.
And after the climb, certainly, we can arrange any other tours the group wants, city tours, wine tours, beach tours, you name it.
