Abstract
THIS book is of particular interest since it is written by one of the few whose experiences date from the time when there were no vitamins or radio and when British polar explorers were expected to man-haul their sledges in the way so vividly described. One can well understand the wonder of an expedition to a region which, except for the merest fringe, was new and contained so much of the entirely unknown.
