As well as providing encyclopaedia-style information - geophysical, meterological, historical and more - "The Pacific" offers anecdote and travelogue, the author's visit to Tonga, the zero date line from which can be seen 60 miles away a mountain top where the time is the same but the date is the previous day's, his voyage through the Panama Canal and his travels in the Canadian Pacific North West.
