Sobre este item
London: Longmans, Green and Co, 1958. First Edition. With illustrations throughout from photographs. 8vo, publisher's original navy-blue cloth, the spine with label gilt lettered, in the original pictorially illustrated dustjacket. 256 pp. A fine copy, bright and clean and with only the most minimal mellowing to the panel of the dustjacket. FIRST EDITION. Commander Bursey spent many months during the years from 1928 to 1957 in Antarctica. He had been with dog-sledges to Mount Hal Flood, the longest Antarctic journey ever made with dogs but for Amundsen's dash to the Pole some years before. He writes from a unique venue, under the command of Byrd during the first Byrd Expedition of 1928-1930 and during subsequent journeys in 1939-1941 and again from 1955-1957.
