British Broadcasting Corporation, 1983. Cloth. Fine/Very Good. 1st Edition; 264pp, maps on end papers, 29 colour, 48 b/w photographs, 2 maps. Blue Cloth with silver titling on spine in pictorial dustjacket. Ernest Shackleton is still by many considered the greatest of all British polar explorers: a hero to generations of British men and women. Christopher Ralling here throws light on the character and actions of this remarkable man through a chronological selection from Shackleton's own writings, public and private. Much of the material comes from his own books, The Heart of the Antarctic and South, both long out of print, which recount the triumphs and disasters of the Nimrod and Endurance expeditions with the freshness and immediacy of the diaries on which they were largely based. Together with his poetry and letters - especially those to his wife, Emily - they build up to the lively self-portrait ofa many-sided, complex and fascinating man: at once leader and romantic dreamer; an inspirer… Read More

Scott Polar Research Institute, 1962. Cloth. Very Good/Good. 1st Edition; viii, 44 pages, frontispiece, 1 plate, 1 map in text. Original maroon cloth with gilt titling to spine in cream unclipped dustjacket with green lettering. Dustjacket slightly grubby, covers and contents clean. In August 1914, Shackleton set sail for the South Pole on the Endurance. His Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition was to attempt a trans-continental journey from the Weddell Sea to the Ross Sea. Shackleton was doubtful if enough provisions could be carried by the trans- continental party for the complete journey, so his plan called for a second ship to land a team in McMurdo Sound, whose task it would be to lay food depots every 60 miles, as far south as the Beardmore Glacier. This party, on board the Aurora, sailed late in the same year. In January 1915, they landed at McMurdo. However, after a fearful storm, their ship was ripped from its moorings and along with it went most of their supplies. Refusing to give up,… Read More
