IN THE ANTARCTIC – Stories of Scott's Last Expedition
Frank Debenham, 

Frank Debenham was a member of the scientific staff on the British Antarctic Expedition of 1910-13, which was led by Captain Scott. When he returned from the Antarctic in 1913 he resolved not to publish any reminiscences but, at the urging of many fiends, he relented and published, in 1952, this book, which deals chiefly with the lighter side of the three years he spent with the Expedition. 

The book is bound in slate-blue Irish linen buckram and blocked in gold on front and spine.

For little more than 100 years the Arctic and Antarctic have inspired some of the greatest stories ever told. The exploits of Scott, Amundsen, Shackleton and many, many others have inspired and awed millions of people over the years. 

Ice Tracks brings together for the first time the accounts of eighteen of our greatest present day Polar explorers — Sir Ranulph Fiennes and Robert Swan, Rosie Stancer and Ann Daniels, Matty McNair and Dr Viktor Boyarsky — English, Russian, Swedish, Canadian — they all share a love of the extreme. 

Their expeditions across the two Poles have demanded extraordinary bravery, unimaginable privation and sometimes a little luck. 

Ice Tracks, with its superb photographs, leaves no iceberg unturned to lay bare today’s Polar world.
