What Our Customers Say...

Description

First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

This work details the story of Colonel Rankin's small expedition to the mountain-top of South Georgia on the edge of the Antarctic, with a crew of three in a yacht, one of the smallest vessels to explore the waters. It vividly describes their encounters with elephant seals and albatross, as well as an account on modern whaling, all framed by their journey.

Profusely illustrated throughout with photographs depicting the wildlife and the team.

An excellent first edition of this work, complete with an excellent unclipped dust wrapper.

Condition
