First edition.
A historical chronology of all Antarctic regions compiled during 25 years at the Scott Polar Research Institute, University of Cambridge. This book lists the voyages to the far southern parts of the Earth, in particular to Antarctica, from those directly engaged in exploration and research, sealers and whalers exploiting its resources, to those accidental discoveries made by early merchants blown off course. The comprehensive index includes names of persons and vessels (with dates) place-names, publication details, names of Antarctic stations and other historical events. Much of the information is derived from unpublished sources including reports and correspondence with Antarctic research organizations and others.
722 pages including 40 plates, 27 maps, and 21 histograms. Mint condition. New.
