Beschreibung
Beschreibung:
8vo 212pp. With 37 photographs and 2 maps. From front flap: "The author was a member of an official Expedition which spent some time in the grim islands fringing the Antarctic. He writes clearly and movingly of the trials and disasters which have befallen seamen in those faraway lands, and of the treachery of dangerous coasts, hidden reefs and unsuspected currents. There are many stories of animal behaviour and many grim histories of shipwrecks and their consequences. Above and beyond the work of the Expedition, the stories of animals and their fascinating behaviour, and the old tales of terrible disasters, looms the ever-hostile land and climate of the Southern Pole." #00704. very good: bumped corners, some shelfwear to boards, toning and offset on pastedowns and endpapers, sticker on half title page, text clean, binding tight good: fading and rubbing, especially to spine, chipping, price clipped.
