This, the first facsimile edition, was made from one of the few copies signed by Shackleton and carries a facsimile of his inscription and signature on the second recto. With the extreme limitation of this facsimile, it too has become one of the rarities of Antarctic literature. Renard #15002 A$ [Shackleton, E. H.]. AURORA AUSTRALIS.

These signatures of course have no immediate connection with Aurora Australis. This copy is unusual, but similar to one or two others we have seen in that there is a remnant of the paste-up artist s markings still remaining on the half-title verso.
