New approaches to studies of the Antarctic and adjacent ocean regions have emerged in recent years. Challenging the idea of a pristine, uninhabited continent, this book shows how materialities create, transform, and connect Antarctic worlds, revealing the region as a historically layered landscape deeply entangled with global histories, politics, and imaginaries. It explores how objects, infrastructures, and material practices have shaped human relations with Antarctica.
