Catalogue Note
“This is an attractive piece of book production, describing a sealing and whaling voyage into the Ross Sea led by a Norwegian who had immigrated to Australia” (Taurus Collection). Expedition member Carsten Borchgrevink later claimed that this was the first time men had set foot on the Antarctic continent.
