    Description

    First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

    With the publisher's original dustwrapper, which is price-clipped.

    Tipped in to page 70 is a leaf with several Soviet stamps depicting steamers. A wonderful addition to this work. 

    From the library of Eric Kenneth Prentice Back. Kenn Back was a British meteorologist with the British Antarctic survey for many years and spent eight winters in the Antarctic and is a descendent of Captain George Back. In addition, he served as base commander at Halley, Faraday and Rothera stations.  His library collection was built over decades and highlights his love of polar exploration. 

    This work discusses the development of a freight-carrying sea route along the north coast of Siberia. It boasts a fuller account than any former works on the topic and is based entirely on Russian-language sources.
