Bryan Rorke, Ordeal By Ice. Ships of the Antarctic, Seaforth Publishing, 2011 First Edition, 544pp, 189x247mm, maps, colour photos, black and white photos, hardback, New in dustwrapper, label signed by Rorke Bryan to title page., This richly illustrated book is destined to become the reference book on ships of the Antarctic. Surrounded by some of the most hazardous seas, Antarctica was first sighted less than three centuries ago. Since then, hundreds of ships have voyaged in Antarctic waters, challenged by poorly-charted waters, storms, pack ice, icebergs, and disease. This is the story of these ships, the expeditions they supported, and their subsequent history, from the fifteenth-century fleets of the Ming Emperors of China to the tourist ships and powerful icebreakers of today. Using extensive research in archives, museums, libraries and private sources around the world, Rorke Bryan brings the stories of these ships into a single, comprehensive record. Familiar names such as Terra Nova and Endurance feature with unfamiliar but equally important ships. From the hundreds of tales of heroic seamanship, the extraordinary 1830-1832 circumnavigation by Captain John Biscoe in the tiny Tula is perhaps matched only by Shackleton's voyage in the James Caird. Plans, photos, paintings and maps enhance description of the expeditions and activities of the ships. This authoritative work fills an important gap in Antarctic literature. A substantial volume, a must have for any polar collection., 68734, £25.00

The First French Expedition To The Antarctic 1903-1905., Bluntisham Books / Erskine Press, 2004 reprint, 247pp, highly decorative boards, hardback, New. A beautifully produced reprint of the original French edition., The first French expedition to the Antarctic set sail in August 1903 under the command of Jean-Baptiste Charcot. He had sailed the waterways of Europe until, in 1902, he visited Iceland and the Faroes. He reached the Arctic Circle and his taste for polar voyaging was established. On his return he commissioned a vessel to be built - Francais. By this stage, although an amateur, Charcot had become quite well known, though Scott referred to him—with possibly a touch of disparagement—as 'the polar gentleman'. In August 1903 he set sail. Charcot had designed the ship so that each man could have a private space of his own and he was particularly proud of his choice of food and wine and the fact that fresh bread was baked three times a week. His diary reveals a man of culture and sensitivity. He charted new coasts and undertook scientific work. This is a fascinating insight into a totally different style of Antarctic exploration., 70292, £35.00

He was disappointed at his showing during Scott's Discovery expedition and he wanted to be the first to the South Pole, partly for glory but also because he felt he had to redeem himself.

Doran Peter T., Lyons W. Berry and McKnight Diane M. [editors], Life in Antarctic Deserts and other Cold Dry Environments. Astrobiological Analogs, Cambridge University Press, 2010 First Edition, 307pp, pictorial boards, New., The McMurdo Dry Valleys form the largest relatively ice free area on the Antarctic continent. The perennially ice covered lakes, ephemeral streams, and extensive areas of exposed soil are subject to low temperatures, limited precipitation, and salt accumulation. The dry valleys thus represent a region where life approaches its environmental limits. This unique ecosystem has been studied for decades as an analog to environments on other planets. For the first time, the detailed terrestrial research of the dry valleys is brought together and presented from an astrobiological perspective., 63367, £28.00

D'Urville J. Dumont, Voyage au Pole Sud et dans L'Oceanie sur les Corvettes L'Astrolabe et la Zelee.

Dumont d Urville s plan for a circumnavigation focusing on the South Seas. D Urville, 1790-1842, had already distinguished himself on two Pacific expeditions and was eager to rival the achievements of James Cook. Between 1837 and 1840, the ships Astrolabe and Zelee explored the waters of the Antarctic area and Oceania in extremely harsh conditions: almost forty crew members died or deserted. However, d Urville discovered a new portion of the Antarctic coast, shed light on the ethnography of several Pacific islands and brought back multitudes of botanical specimens. His impressive contributions to the fields of geography, natural history and ethnography were gathered in this ten- volume work, published between 1841 and 1846.

Halliday Geoffrey, An Altitudinal Study of the Flora of the Inland Mountains of South-East Greenland. Describing the Ammassalik-Kialiip Tasiilaa and Kangersertuaq areas between 66° and 69°N, Museum Tusculanum Press, 2019 First Edition, 96pp, paperback, New, signed by Geoffrey Halliday., Prior to 1963 virtually all our knowledge of the flora of south-east Greenland had been gained at low altitudes. However, that year saw the first of seventeen European mountaineering expeditions to the region covered in this volume. Their members rarely had any botanical expertise, but the author was able to persuade most to make collections and record the altitude. This resulted in 111 collections from altitudes of up to 2480 m. This, in Schweizerland, is probably the highest altitude for vascular plants in the Arctic. The region was divided into northern and southern halves, 100 species being recorded from the southern area and 86 from the northern. The altitude range in each was divided into three zones, and the proportion of each of eleven biological distribution types was determined for each zone. Records of bryophytes and lichens are included as appendices. There is also much content of value to expeditions visiting the mountains between Schweitzerland and Watkins Bjerge. It incorporates plant records made from 1936 to 1992 by 17 predominantly climbing expeditions who visited in total 111 nunatak sites. There are two full page maps of these sites and lists of these expeditions and of the climbers who made the plant collections.

Halliday Geoffrey & Corner R. W.

It extends for nearly 500 miles from north to south and from 100 miles east to west, from the inland ice to the outer coast. With its rich flora, by arctic standards, its superb mountain scenery and benign summer climate it is a popular destination for arctic botanists, climbers and general lovers of the Arctic. The book includes distribution maps of 245 species based on 170 visits by expeditions and individuals since William Scoresby in 1822. The main part of the book is the accounts of individual species, which include information on altitudinal and latitudinal limits where the latter fall within the region. The flora is particularly interesting in that it includes many high arctic species at their southern limit and low arctic ones at their northern as well as species which are restricted in Greenland to the east coast or, as in the case of the endemic Saxifraga nathorstii, occur nowhere else. There is a small western element but otherwise the flora is essentially circumpolar and Eurasian. There are sections on geology and scenery, climate, vegetation, altitudinal limits, hot springs, the history of botanical exploration and on possible origins of the flora, with particular emphasis on a group of species such as Draba sibirica, Potentilla rubella and Polemonium boreale which are restricted in Greenland to the region., 68795, £28.00

The failure of the relief ship to collect them at the end of the summer left them marooned with no hut and little food. Campbell kept all the men alive through the winter in a snow cave, 12ft by 9ft. After the winter, Campbell led the men 230 miles back to Cape Evans, only to learn of the death of Scott and the polar party., 63436, £32.00

Ludwig Kohl-Larsen first visited the island in 1911 as a doctor on the Otto Nordenskjold expedition. Seeing South Georgia kindled in him an enthusiasm for returning to the Antarctic. He married Captain Larsen’s daughter and used his close connection with the Larsen family to return, firstly in 1924 on board the first whaling factory ship (Sir James Clark Ross) and then, in 1929, to travel around South Georgia and film the wildlife. He spent a summer camped in various parts of the island, exploring the interior on skis, collecting specimens and filming.

An Account of the Voyage of the Belgica, The Erskine Press, 2020 First Edition, xxiii, 310pp, 90 illusts, hardback, New in dustwrapper, with separate pocket housing five maps, 20pp brochure and five postcards of the expedition., Over 120 years ago a Belgian expedition set sail for the Antarctic. Under the command of Adrien de Gerlache de Gomery it was the first expedition of a purely scientific nature and it provided a wealth of information along with the first pictures ever taken on the ice. Though the explorers did not reach the Pole they were the first to overwinter in the Antarctic. On board the ship were Roald Amundsen, the future conqueror of the South Pole and Dr Frederick Cook, who had already explored much of the Arctic with Commander Robert Peary and who later claimed to be the first to reach the North Pole. Georges Lecointe was appointed first officer, and therefore was second in command, on board Belgica. He was also responsible for hydrography , depth-soundings and charting. This was a multi-national expedition – Belgian, Norwegian, Polish, an American doctor and a Romanian zoologist. With such a diverse crew and almost a year stuck in the ice there were problems aplenty but all ended well largely due to four men, Amundsen, Cook, Lecointe and de Gerlache himself. Lecointe’s book is perhaps the most readable of all accounts of the voyage of the Belgica and this is the first English translation of his 1904 book., 71082, £45.00

Ludecke Cornelia & Summerhayes Colin, The Third Reich In Antarctica. The German Antarctic Expedition 1938-39, Bluntisham Books / Erskine Press, 2012 First Edition, 259pp, hardback, New in dustwrapper., The origins of the Third German Antarctic Expedition lie in a combination of the aspirations of German scientists to contribute to exploring and understanding the Antarctic environ¬ment, and the Nazi Party's drive for self- sufficiency on the road to war. In 1936/37 Germany had joined the whaling nations in the South Atlantic, keen to obtain whale oil without having to use valuable foreign currency reserves needed for rearmament. Considering that it needed a local whaling base, Germany decided to explore the possibility of setting up a supply base on the coast of Dronning Maud Land. The man in charge of German whaling was Councillor of State Helmut Wohlthat who in 1938 put this idea of unclaimed Antarctic territory as a territorial basis for German whaling, to his superior, Hermann Goring, the Commissioner for the Four Year Plan for Economic Development. Following consultation with other ministries, Goring approved the concept, and assigned resources for a reconnaissance expedition, including a ship and two seaplanes for aerial survey and photographic mapping. The Third German Antarctic Expedition was born. The expedition was led by Alfred Ritscher, a captain in the German navy and on 19 January 1939 Schwabenland arrived in Dronning Maud Land and began charting the region. Nazi German flags were placed on the sea ice along the coast and the area was named Neu Schwabenland after the ship. Its scientific studies, using state of the art equipment for meteorology and oceanography, made major discoveries. The expedition retuned to Hamburg on 11 April, 1939. This is the story of an ambitious and little-known expedition, which set out to map a large piece of Antarctica from the air, and in the process discovered an 800 km long mountain range and previously unsuspected freshwater lakes., 68969, £28.00

The Hakluyt Society Third series No.6, The Hakluyt Society, 2001 First Edition, xi, 268pp, Fine in VG+ dw with sunning to spine., Martin Frobisher's third voyage to Baffin island was the consequence of flawed logic and excessive optimism on the part of the adventurers of the ephemeral Company of Cathay. Their original intention of finding a north- western route to the Far East had been largely forgotten following the imagined discovery of gold and silver- bearing ore in Meta Incognita, as Elizabeth I had named the forbidding and icy landscape which Frobisher and seventeen mariners had first sighted two years earlier. This was to be the English nation's first experience of a goldrush. As the likelihood of future profits was downgraded in successive assays of the mineral samples, the adventurers accepted that a much larger expedition would be required to extract sufficient ore to provide an adequate return upon monies already spent. The result was a fleet of fifteen ships, crewed by almost five hundred men, remains the largest fleet ever to have visited Baffin Island. Their travails in arctic seas, near-comic failures of navigation and the backbreaking task of mining the largest possible amount of mineral ore in the time allowed by the brief arctic summer, were recorded in an unsurpassed body of eyewitness reports, all of which, for the first time, have been assembled in a single volume. Supplemented by extremely detailed and opprobrious accusations regarding Frobisher's role in this enterprise by his ex-partner, the merchant Michael Lok, these records provide a graphic, poignant and often humorous picture of a voyage which foreshadowed the glorious failures of a later age of English empire-building., 53302, £9.00

Riffenburgh Beau, Aurora. Douglas Mawson And The Australasian Antarctic Expedition 1911-14., The Erskine Press, 2011 First Edition, 525pp, folding map, hardback, New in dustwrapper., In 1911 Douglas Mawson organised and led the Australasian Expedition – a scientific investigation of the Antarctic on a scale never before considered. At the same time it was responsible for exploration of vastly more territory than any other Antarctic expedition. It consisted of three land bases operated by 32 men, seven major sledging journeys (as well as numerous shorter ones), and a full oceanographic programme in addition to its shore based scientific studies. Yet what was intended by Mawson to be a scientific exercise devoid of heroic adventure, also proved to be a tale of death, determination, and raw courage. Sir Edmund Hillary once described it as ‘the greatest survival story in the history of exploration’. The dynamic character of Mawson, the expedition’s sheer scale, and the fact that most of what happened on it has never entered the public consciousness were very appealing reasons to investigate such an epic venture. The result is the first examination of the full expedition since Mawson’s ‘The Home of the Blizzard’ was published in 1913., 68989, £32.00

Riffenburgh Beau, The Antarctic Diary of Archibald Lang McLean, The Erskine Press, 2020 First Edition, 400pp, 100 illusts, folding map, hardback, New in dustwrapper., Archibald Lang McLean in 1911 applied to join Douglas Mawson’s Australasian Antarctic Expedition as the expedition’s doctor and bacteriologist. On the expedition he studied the effects of the Antarctic environment on other members of the expedition and carried out medical tests and examinations. It has been suggested that through this work he laid the foundations for modern physiological research in the Antarctic. When Aurora returned to collect the expedition, Mawson, Ninnis and Mertz had not returned from their sledging expedition and McLean volunteered to stay and if necessary search for Mawson. Aurora sailed on 8 February, leaving the small party behind and within hours of the ship’s departure, Mawson returned in terrible physical condition, bearing with him the tragic tale of the deaths of Ninnis and Mertz. A wireless message was sent to Davis, asking him to come back to pick up the remaining men but the weather conditions prevented the men on shore from reaching the ship, and Davis eventually made the decision to leave the seven of them at Cape Denison. Mawson, McLean and the others would spend another year at their base. The story of the second year at Commonwealth Bay was originally told in Mawson’s The Home of the Blizzard. The published primary sources about the second wintering have in the past been the diaries of Mawson and Madigan, two men who often did not see eye to eye. McLean’s contribution therefore adds a valuable perspective., 71069, £32.50

A Record Of Antarctica., Bluntisham Books / Erskine Press, 2011 First Edition, 414pp, decorative boards, hardback, New in dustwrapper., The Japanese Antarctic Expedition, 1910-12, under the leadership of army lieutenant Nobu Shirase was the first exploration of Antarctic territory by Japan. After initial scepticism about the expedition they sailed from Tokyo on 29 November 1910, in Kainan-maru, a vessel only 100 feet in length. They arrived in Wellington on 8 February 1911 and three days later departed for the Antarctic. The entire trip south was dogged by poor weather and when the coast of Victoria Land was finally sighted conditions were so bad that a landing was impossible. They sailed on through the Ross Sea only to find even worse ice and soon it was impossible to go any further. Shirase ordered the crew to turn the ship northward for Australia. They arrived in Sydney on 1 May, 1911 and were initially greeted with suspicion and hostility. Captain Nomura went back to Japan, with the secretary to the expedition, returning some five months later with provisions, ships' parts and other equipment. During the following season a second attempt was made to reach an Antarctic landfall, with the specific objective of exploring King Edward VII Land. At the Great Ice Barrier they met Roald Amundsen's ship From, which was waiting in the Bay of Whales for the return of Amundsen's South Pole party. Seven men were landed on the Barrier and a 'Dash Patrol' journeyed southward to 80°05'S, at which point adverse weather and lack of food and time forced their return. Meanwhile the ship landed another party on the coast of King Edward VII Land, where an exploration of the lower slopes of the Alexandra Range was carried out. In mid-February Kainan- maru returned to Japan, reaching Yokohama on 20 June 1912. The expedition had sailed some 27,000 miles since leaving Japan and despite not reaching the Pole, they had achieved many of their other goals. There was a tremendous reception upon their return to Tokyo. Nobu Shirase died in 1946., 68974, £32.00

Armed with only a small assortment of rifles and pistols and with an obselete 12 pounder mounted on the bows of their decrepit supply vessel, officially, their purpose was to prevent German U-boats and surface raiders from using Antarctic and Sub-Antarctic harbours for refuelling and resupply. Unofficially, they were tasked with reasserting British territorial rights in the face of increasingly confident incursions by neutral argentina. This two year expedition, code-named Operation Tabarin, was the precursor to the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey, FIDS. It marked the beginning of Britain's permanent presence on the Antarctic continent and the commencement of a complex programme of scientific research and geographic exploration which continues to this day., 65483, £32.00

Trendall Alec, Putting South Georgia On The Map, Alec Trendall, 2011 First Edition, 216pp, 112 photographs, softback, New., The sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia, about 170 kilometres long and up to 30 kilometres wide, lies at the southern end of the Atlantic Ocean, about 2000 kilometres east of Cape Horn. Its icy mountain spine rises nearly 3000 metres out of the ocean, like a misplaced section of the Alps. The island lies well within the cold waters bounded by the Antarctic Polar Front, and more than half of its area is permanently covered by ice and snow. Although South Georgia was visited with increasing frequency after its discovery by Captain Cook in 1775, and was for a long time a busy base for the sealing and whaling industries, a properly surveyed map of the island was not published until 1958. That map resulted from a series of small privately-organised expeditions – the South Georgia Surveys – initiated and led by Duncan Carse. Alec Trendall, who served as geologist with the South Georgia Surveys of 1951-52 and 1953-54, tells for the first time the full story of Carse's expeditions to South Georgia in the 1950s. Putting South Georgia on the Map puts accounts of the three South Georgia Surveys, of 1951-52, 1953-54 and 1955-56, into the context of their leader Duncan Carse's life (1913-2004). In addition there is a chapter which discusses how current conditions on South Georgia differ from those on the island in the 1950s, when it was an important base for both whaling and sealing. A one-page biography of each of the twelve men who joined the expeditions between 1951 and 1956 is included in an appendix, and another appendix presents a new analysis of Shackleton's 1916 land crossing of the island, after his epic boat journey from Elephant Island to South Georgia following the loss of the Endurance in the Weddell Sea. The illustrations were mainly selected from a collection of 1921 taken during the South Georgia Surveys, and now held in the British Antarctic Survey archives. Coloured maps, redrawn from the 1:200,000 map that resulted from Carse's expeditions, show the routes travelled., 61215, £18.00

Wild Comdr. Frank, The Story of the Quest, The Erskine Press, 2016, 4pp, facsimile, New., The Quest, under the command of Ernest Shackleton, sailed from St Katherine’s Dock, London on 17 September 1921. This was Shackleton’s 4th Antarctic journey, the purpose of which was ostensibly to circumvent the Antarctic continent, looking for lost sub-polar islands. Shackleton was not well—and he saw this last voyage as a chance to relive old times. He appeared somewhat listless and was drinking too much. When the ship arrived in Buenos Aires he had what appeared to be a heart attack but refused to let any doctor attend to him. On 4 January 1922 the ship reached South Georgia and the following morning he had another heart attack and died. The Quest continued under the command of Frank Wild but there was little enthusiasm for further exploration and soon returned to South Georgia where, on 5 March 1922, Shackleton was buried. The Quest returned to England. In 1923 Wild undertook a series of lectures and talks about the voyage and this is a facsimile of a 1923 4 page brochure

THE HAKLUYT SOCIETY

Founded in 1846, the Hakluyt Society is a registered charity based in London, which seeks to advance knowledge and education by the publication of scholarly editions of primary records of voyages, travels and other geographical material. The society is named after Richard Hakluyt (1552-1616), collector and editor of narratives of voyages and travels and other documents relating to English interests overseas, his most celebrated work being The Principal Navigations, Voyages and Discoveries of the English Nation.
