A stowaway of sorts, Gardiner used his experiences on this voyage as the narrative backdrop for \u003ci\u003eBeneath the Shadow\u003c\/i\u003e, a compelling firsthand account that breathes new life into the nineteenth-century journals of Antarctic explorers such as Captain Robert Falcon Scott, Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton, and Captain Roald Amundsen. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eBeneath the Shadow\u003c\/i\u003e is centered on journal excerpts by eight famous explorers, which Gardiner uses as touchstones for modern-day experiences of harsh seas, chance encounters, rugged terrain, and unspeakable beauty. With equal parts levity and lyricism, Gardiner navigates the distance between the historical and the contemporary, the artistic and the scientific, the heroic and the mundane. The bold and tragic tales of Antarctic explorers have long held our collective imagination--almost as much as the mythically remote land such explorers ventured to--and this book makes those voices come to life as few ever have.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJUSTIN GARDINER, a native of the Northwest, now teaches at Auburn University, where he also serves as the nonfiction editor of the \u003ci\u003eSouthern Humanities Review\u003c\/i\u003e.
