Book
Hardcover. Condition: VG. Dust Jacket Condition: None. Photos, Maps (illustrator). 1st. With five earlier Antarctic titles already published no better writer could have been found to compile this record of NZ's association with Antarctica and the expeditions that had explored this forbidding terrain. Many of the earliest venture to the southern polar regions used NZ as their final ports of call long before the country became actively involved in exploration there, although many NZers participated in various expeditions. While the bulk of Quartermain's work is devoted to NZ Antarctic work several of the early chapters examine earlier expeditions up to WWII. 269 pages including three appendices, index, 70+ b/w photos, etc, 10 maps (folded map from back pocket missing). Green hard covers with silver front/spine titles VG, punched hole top righ back cover, probably to hang the book from a cord, "Display copy" in felt pen top FFEP with "NZ Antarctic Research Programme" stamp lower on FFEP, this stamp also on title page, textblock otherwise excellent, no other markings.

Book
Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 269 pages. dj is chipped. The aim of this book is to provide the general reader with a balanced and accurate, though necessari ly condensed, account of the part which has been played by New Ze aland in the discovery of Antarctica and the unveiling of its sec rets. But long before New Zealand became one of the dozen or so c ountries which have sent expeditions to explore some part of the Southern Continent, this country became involved in the story of Antarctic exploration, especially in two ways. Firstly, many expe ditions, mainly British and American, had NZ as their last port o f call before heading direct for Antartica. Secondly, many New Ze alanders actively participated in expeditions mounted by other co untries.

8vo; original beige cloth, lettered in gilt on spine; pictorial dustwrapper; tinted top edge; endpaper map; pp. xx + (ii) + 481, incl. index; plates; maps, incl. folding map at end. Dustwrapper tattered; some foxing to edges, occasional fox spot elsewhere; archival tape reinforcing to lower hinge at tail. Good condition, in a modest dustwrapper. "This first full-scale account of any one sector of the Antarctic tells the story of the area most rich in history - that from the Ross Sea 'south to the Pole'. From the courageous voyages of Cook and Bellingshausen in the 18th and early 19th centuries, the first penetration of the Sea by Ross himself, the first deliberate wintering in the Antarctic by Borchgrevink and the first great inland journeys by Scott and Shackleton, the story moves to the attainment of the Pole by Amundsen and Scott, the tragic, splendid, though little-known story of the Ross Sea section of Shackleton's abortive Trans-Antarctic Expedition of 1914-1917, the Odyssey of the Ross Sea whalers and the proclamation of the Ross Dependency in 1923. These, as well as . little publicized exploits . are told with an immediacy and wealth of human interest only attainable by an author who has not merely soaked himself in Antarctic lore but who himself knows the Antarctic.".
