Hardcover (Original Cloth). Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Good. First Edition. 1986 Reprint of 1st Edition thus; xv, 296 pages + pages 155 to 167 of The Geographical Journal Vol.151 Part 2 July 1985 "Archipelago to Peninsula", b/w photos, maps, diagrams, 4 maps including folding map at front of book. Original covers in unclipped dust jacket. Slight bump to top edge of dust jacket, contents clean. Appears unread. The British Graham Land Expedition was a completely amateur expedition, except for their ship's Royal Navy Captain and engineer. "The objectives were simple: experience the adventure of polar living, matching danger and daring while exploring Graham Land by ship, sledge and airplane" "To sum up the results of a complex expedition working over a long period is difficult; especially as the scientists of the party will not be prepared to make any definite statements about the research in their particular branches of science for many months, when they will have finished working up their results. But as far as our exploratory work is concerned, we were able to work in a previously unvisited part of the Antarctic and make two major discoveries. First, that Graham Land is part of the Antarctic Continent and not an archipelago, as was previously thought, and secondly, that a great channel running approximately north and south separates Graham Land from Alexander Land. Since our return to England, His Majesty the King has graciously given permission for this channel to be called King George VI Sound."
