Madhouse at the End of the Earth: The Belgica’s Journey into the Dark Antarctic Night

byJulian Sancton

Madhouse at the End of the Earth is Julian Sancton's biographical portrait of the Belgica’s Journey into the Dark Antarctic Night. Moving between close detail and context, the book explains the forces surrounding its subject and connects them to the connected fields of biography & autobiography and history. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. The book ultimately clarifies what made these developments possible, who experienced their effects, and why the story remains significant.
