I've read a lot about Antarctica, some years ago that is, and I really enjoyed this book in particular. I might have to pick this one up because it sounds interesting.
I recommend reading Roland Huntford’s book “The Last Place on Earth” (and/ or the miniseries based upon the book) which describes the race to the South Pole between Roald Amundsen’s Norwegian expedition and Britains Robert Falcon Scott. The Norwegians used sled dogs and Inuit technology and won without a loss, the English used tractors and Siberian Ponies ... and were all lost. Brilliantly told.

If you want to read about the competing expeditions by Norway and the United Kingdom circa 1910, there is a great book.
