Description:
Putnam:, 1926. The second printing, 439 pages, illustrated in b&w and 5 color plates. "The avowed objects of the Arcturus Expedition were the investigation of the Sargasso Sea and the Humboldt Current. Owing to continual storms the former was in such a distintegrated condition that I soon decided to postpone detailed study until a more favorable time. In the Pacific, to our surprise, we found that there was absolutely no trace of the Humbolt Current about the Galapagos. The inexplicable absence of this great cold, Antarctic current was more than made up for by the presence of equally unexpected natural conditions. Among the totally unexpected and inestimably valuable phenomena- the high lights were the great volcanic eruption on Albemarle, the albatross rookery on Hood Marle, the remarkable results of hundreds of dives in a cooper helmut and bathing suit", and much more." VERY GOOD HARDCOVER.. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Dust Jacket Present. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
