Hardback. A 1938 First Edition account documenting the voyage and three years of work in the Antarctic Peninsula. This copy is complete with a worn dust jacket with crude tape repair to the underside. Underneath the green cloth boards are a little faded to the extremities, although still present well. There is a small neat inscription to the front past-down otherwise the pages are very clean throughout, illustrated with several monotone plates, and folding maps. pp. xv + 296. The British Graham Land Expedition took place to Antarctica between 1934 and 1937, led by Rymill, they successfully determined that Graham Land was a peninsula, as well as enjoying great success in scientific exploits. All members of the landing party were rewarded with a Polar Medal. A great read.
