'Taylor was a geologist on the 1910-12 expedition to the Antarctic which, despite the tragedy was of major scientific interest.' Spence 1183. An important account of Scott's last expedition including many illustrations not included in Scott. Taylor was the geologist and also the wittiest member of Scott's Terra Nova expedition, 1910-13. He had devices and notebooks hanging out of every pocket and a passion for being well equipped. He was enraptured with geology and would immerse himself into any debate. Cherry-Garrard said the arguments he led were legendary and the hut was a merrier place for his presence. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilogram.
