    Description

    Folding Maps, Illustrated

    This expedition was financed by Eugene McDonald and led by Donald MacMillan accompanied by Richard E. Byrd in planes; the aerial surveys had disappointing results due to poor weather, but the expedition was a success for its demonstration of SW radio communications from the Arctic Region.

    Published by the National Geographic Magazine, which was founded in 1888 and backed this expedition. Volume XLVIII, No. 5 of November 1925.

    Written by Donald B. Macmillan, an American explorer and researcher who made over thirty Arctic expeditions. He also compiled a dictionary of the Inuktitut language.

    From the library of London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine; with their bookplate and stamps throughout. 

    Illustrated with a folding map frontispiece in colour, as well as remarkable photographs in black and white throughout of the people and sights encountered locally during the expedition.
