    Description

    First Edition, Folding Maps, Illustrated, Original Binding, Publishers' Original Binding, Scarce

    Scarce. In the publisher's original green cloth binding. 

    With a large folding colour map to the rear of the volume, two further folding maps, sixty three monochrome plates and numerous in text illustrations. Collated complete. 

    Written by British geographer and meteorologist, Hugh Robert Mill. An influential figure in the field, Mill was notably a friend and confidante to Ernest Shackleton and wrote the first full length biography on the explorer. 

    This work acts as a comprehensive account of the Antarctic region, covering many of the most notable expeditions to the treacherous landscape, including those undertaken by Scott, Shackleton and Amundsen.
