In this book, Elena Glasberg argues that Antarctica is the most mediated place on earth and thus an ideal location for testing the limits of bio-political management of population and place. The book remaps national and postcolonial methods and offers a new look on a 'forgotten' continent now the focus of ecological concern. The book explores the history of exploration and globalization, challenging persistent clichés of Antarctica as an exceptional territory for masculine heroism, untouched wilderness, a utopia for international science, or a symbol of hope for capitalism or a post-ecological future.
