520 |a This is the first book whose subject is the music, sounds and silences of Antarctica. From 2011 until 2014, Australia marked its long-standing connection with Antarctica by celebrating the centenary of the Australasian Antarctic Expedition.

This book demonstrates the intellectual and creative engagement of artists, musicians, scientists and writers. Consciousness of sounds - in particular, musical ones - has not been at the forefront of our aims in polar endeavours, but listening to and appreciating them has been as important there as elsewhere.
