Read an Excerpt


Meanwhile we had brought all our things as far as possible into a place of safety ; the dogs lay harnessed to reduce the risk of losing them. Wisting was just going over to his sledge—he had gone the same way several times before—when suddenly I saw nothing but his head, shoulders and arms above the snow. He had fallen through, but saved himself by stretching his arms out as he fell. The crevasse was bottomless, like the rest. We went into the tent and cooked lobscouse. Leaving the weather to take care of itself, we made ourselves as comfortable as we could. It was then one o'clock in the afternoon. The wind had fallen considerably since we came in, and before we knew what was happening, it was perfectly calm. It began to brighten a little about three, and we went out to look at it. The weather was evidently improving, and on the northern horizon there was a sign of blue sky. On the south it was thick.

I was one of the three, so we had a long Alpine rope between us ; I don't like tumbling in, if I can avoid it by such simple means. We set out to the east—thedirection that had brought us out of the same broken ground before—and we had not gone more than a few paces wh...

    Best in class

    This is a classic book and a must-read for anyone interested in polar exploration. It is an excellent description of how such a trip could be successfully carried out, and provides a vivid description of place. In addition, it's just fun to read. Originally published in two volumes, the book is fairly long and therefore the one-volume paper edition is cumbersome to hold. The digital edition, even though it has a few errors, is a big improvement.
