A discussion of how perceptions of the Arctic and Antarctic are governed by a mixture of the imaginative and the economic.
1,650 words (approx. 6.6 pages) | 6 sources | 2002 United States


Paper Summary:

This essay will argue that, as was the case with the descriptions of Pytheas, perceptions of the Arctic and Antarctic are governed by a mingling of the imaginative and the economic. In general, the economic perception tends to dominate with the closer proximity to the pole. Thus, it will be argued that European and Canadian views of the Arctic have historically been dominated by a mingling of economic and imaginative factors. In contrast, the distant (from Europe) Antarctic has been a realm dominated by the imagination as much, or more so, than by economic interests.
