And not only was his faith undaunted, but his ingenuity and enterprise were boundless. For many years Cook s account was the principal one available in English, as Gerlache s was only translated in 1998, and Lecointe s book, was published in 1904 but only in very limited numbers. Cook s account is far superior to the other two from both literary and informational viewpoints. His narrative is certainly one of the finest and most interesting from any Antarctic expedition.

A lovely reprint retaining much of the appearance of the original First Edition., The official account of the expedition was by Borchgrevink under the title of First on the Antarctic Continent in 1901, but Bernacchi had also been busy writing and his account of the expedition was also published in Bernacchi was the first Australian to play a significant part in Antarctic exploration. His father was from Italy where they owned large estates on the shores of Lake Como. His father visited Tasmania on a cruise and liked it so much that he subsequently established a farm on Maria island and this is where Louis grew up. An intelligent boy who loved the sciences he was anxious for adventure and after just missing out on joining the Belgian Antarctic Expedition in 1897 he travelled to London in 1898 and persuaded Borchgrevink to take him as the expedition physicist. As a result he became one of the first party to overwinter on the Antarctic continent. Bernacchi s account is a gem of Antarctic literature, even if he did confine most of his personal feelings, not infrequently negative ones, to his journal. To him we are indebted for many beautiful literary images of the voyage. Bernacchi was only 26 years old when his book was published but he already had an unmistakable writing ability which he illustrated attractively with his own photographs. 110 Berton Pierre, The Arctic Grail.

31 PUTTING SOUTH GEORGIA ON THE MAP Putting South Georgia On The Map by Alec Trendall The sub-antarctic island of South Georgia, about 170 kilometres long and up to 30 kilometres wide, lies at the southern end of the Atlantic Ocean, about 2000 kilometres east of Cape Horn. Its icy mountain spine rises nearly 3000 metres out of the ocean, like a misplaced section of the Alps. The island lies well within the cold waters bounded by the Antarctic Polar Front, and more than half of its area is permanently covered by ice and snow. Although South Georgia was visited with increasing frequency after its discovery by Captain Cook in 1775, and was for a long time a busy base for the sealing and whaling industries, a properly surveyed map of the island was not published until That map resulted from a series of small privately-organised expeditions the South Georgia Surveys initiated and led by Duncan Carse. Alec Trendall, who served as geologist with the South Georgia Surveys of and , tells for the first time the full story of Carse's expeditions to South Georgia in the 1950s. The illustrations were mainly selected from a collection of 1921 taken during the South Georgia Surveys, and now held in the British Antarctic Survey archives. Coloured maps, redrawn from the 1:200,000 map that resulted from Carse's expeditions, show the routes travelled. First Edition, 30x22cms, 216pp, 112 photographs.

Douglas Mawson And The Australasian Antarctic Expedition , The Erskine Press, 2011 First Edition, 525pp, hardback, New in dw., In 1911 Douglas Mawson organised and led the Australasian Expedition a scientific investigation of the Antarctic on a scale never before considered. At the same time it was responsible for exploration of vastly more territory than any other Antarctic expedition. It consisted of three land bases operated by 32 men, seven major sledging journeys (as well as numerous shorter ones), and a full oceanographic programme in addition to its shore based scientific studies. Yet what was intended by Mawson to be a scientific exercise devoid of heroic adventure, also proved to be a tale of death, determination, and raw courage. Sir Edmund Hillary once described it as the greatest survival story in the history of exploration. The dynamic character of Mawson, the expedition s sheer scale, and the fact that most of what happened on it has never entered the public consciousness were very appealing reasons to investigate such an epic venture. The result is the first examination of the full expedition since Mawson s The Home of the Blizzard was published in , 29 Riffenburgh Beau, Racing With Death.
