'Scott kept a diary of the expedition up until his death on or about 29 March 1912. This was published in two volumes in November 1913 as Scott's last expedition, along with supplementary material furnished by other members of the expedition. It ran to innumerable later editions' (Howgego S13).'It is a harrowing and courageous story, which earned its place in the canons of polar literature' (Stam. Books on ice, p.88). Herbert Ponting, the photographer, made the first moving picture documentary of this Antarctic expedition. 'This is undoubtedly the most known of all Antarctic expeditions and publications' (Taurus Collection 77). - A nice set.Spence 1059; Headland 1440; Conrad p.188. [Boeknr.: 2090 ]

XLVIII,371; XV,419 pp. First edition. - The official account of Shackleton's first Antarctic expedition. Shackleton (1874-1922) organized the British Imperial Antarctic Expedition of 1907-1909 to conquer the South Pole with the small whaler Nimrod. First of all he attempted to anchor in Whale Bay and go ashore, but he was prevented by the insurmountable masses of ice. His attemp to call at King Edward II Land was also thwarted. Eventually he managed to establish a camp on Ross Island. There a party accomplished the first ascent of the volcanic Mount Erebus and surveyed its various craters. Another proceeded in the direction of the South Magnetic Pole, which it reached on 16 January, 1909. In the meantime, Shackleton and his companions fought their way through a blizzard that brought them frustatingly to a halt just 180 kilometres from the pole and set a record for the farthest south,almost four years before Amundsen and Scott achieved the Pole itself.Spence 1097; Conrad p.137-140; Headland 1383; Stam, Books on ice, p.98; Howgego III, p.555-557.
