First edition. 8vo. pp. xxi, 292; photo. illusts., folding sheet of panoramas, map endpapers; spotting to fore-edge, else near-fine in original cloth, blocked in silver to spine, neatly restored to head of spine. The British Imperial Antarctic Expedition to Graham Land failed in many of its objectives, but two members of the small team, Bagshawe and Maxine Lester, overwintered in a small hut on an island just off the Danco Coast. Years after his return, Bagshawe was persuaded by Frank Debenham to set down his experiences, and the result was the present "well-written narrative" (Rosove), which is now scarce.
