4.9/5 (28082 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from Antarctic Adventure and Research Never has so much interest been taken in Antarctic exploration as at present. Three major expeditions, those of Byrd, Wilkins and Mawson, are still in the field (early in Norwegians are ying from Whalers and charting new coasts (near Enderby Land) whose longitude has not been published. Thanks largely to the kindness of Dr. Bowman and Mr. Joerg of the American Geographical Society, this small book will be found to be up to date at the time the proof was corrected. The splendid Antarctic maps recently published by the same Society have been referred to repeatedly in this book - as also have recent articles dealing with the same area. The writer has also bor rowed data with due acknowledgment from the Jour nal of the Royal Geographical Society which has al ways welcomed the records of Antarctic explorers. Lastly, John Murray has kindly permitted me to use one or two diagrams from my book With Scott The Silver Lining. Although I can not altogether agree with his taste, the Editor of the series expressly asked for my own somewhat rough diagrams and sketches. So I hope that those readers who prefer something more artistic will blame the right man! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
