For the first time readers will be able to contemplate the hidden treasures of the great south and discover its most remote mountain regions. The publication focuses on the mountains of Antarctica and appeals to a wider public than strictly climbers by including numerous descriptions of the mountain ranges� geography and glaciology, exploration and travel history, profiles of adventurers, climbers and sailors, many anecdotes, practical information, etc. Being a mountaineering book, it also contains unique practical guidebook information intended for all who plan an expedition in in these regions (technical data, routes, approaches, equipment, transport, etc.). A large number of original high quality photos and specially drawn maps illustrate the book. The author divides the presentation of the White Continent�s mountains by geographical areas, each one being the subject of a chapter. ELLSWORTH MOUNTAINS Sentinel Range: Vinson Massif.

In 2000-01 Damien worked as a guide for ANI on a 1130 km ski journey to the South Pole. He is the youngest Australian to ski to the South Pole and the first Australian to have guided a client to the South Pole. Damien has also climbed on the Antarctic Peninsula, both as a guide and doing GPS work. In 1998 he wrote the Antarctic Mountaineering Chronology, the first reference book on climbing in Antarctica and South Georgia. This new book, Mountaineering in Antarctica, expands on the previous volume. Since then he has written numerous journal and magazine articles on climbing �down south�. He is the Antarctic correspondent for the American Alpine Journal, Alpinist magazine (USA) and Climb magazine (UK). Since 1995 Damien has done several trips to the Himalaya and Karakoram, mainly to lesser-known areas. He has summited solo on popular peaks like Aconcagua, Sajama and Denali and climbed technical ice routes in New Zealand, Canada and the Alps.
