Contributors include British, American, Australian, Scandinavian, Japanese and Russian explorers such as Ernest Shackleton, Apsley Cherry-Garrard, Robert Falcon Scott, Richard Byrd, and Douglas Mawson; novelists such as H.P. Lovecraft, Diane Ackerman, Jenny Diski and Kim Stanley Robinson and popular travel writers such as Sara Wheeler. Published alongside the companion volume, The Arctic: An Anthology, edited by Elizabeth Kolbert.
