The Wilkes Expedition spent four years at sea during the 1830s exploring the coastline of Antarctica, mapping the Fiji Islands, and, most importantly, collecting the ethnographic material that eventually became the original inventory of the Smithsonian Institute. In this daring author's follow up to Revenge of the Whale and In the Heart of the Sea, he recounts the many challenges the expedition faced—ships lost to storms, men lost to flesh-eating Fiji Islanders—and, especially, he brings to life the challenge that was Captain Charles Wilkes himself. Philbrick has done with him what Dickens did with Fagin in Oliver Twist: He has made a character as fascinating as a nest of vipers.
