The Great White South: Or with Scott in the Antarctic -- Herbert G. Ponting

Condition : Good.

        Sixth Impression, Duckworth, 1924, Hardback with protective plastic wrap- Explorers - 306 pp. Signs of repair.

         Traveling with Robert F. Scott's Doomed South Pole Expedition.

         Photographer Ponting joined Robert Scott's expedition to the South Pole in 1910. His remarkable book not only tells of the life among Scott's crew on board and at camp, but also provides numerous photos depicting the Antarctic landscape.

         Ponting recorded, both in print and on film, habits of the native penguins and seals, and shares stories of his arrival at volcanic Mount Erebus, nearly losing a team of dogs in a crevasse, and escaping a harrowing run-in with a pack of killer-whales.         Ponting also tells of the struggle to survive in the extreme conditions at the pole, and how Scott died with two of his crewmen shortly after achieving their goal.
