About This Book

A senior member of the voyage presents a plain narrative of the small ship’s long ocean journey: the outward run, work in sub‑Antarctic and Antarctic waters, and the sudden death of the expedition leader followed by the decision to carry on. The account details encounters with heavy pack ice, periods when the vessel was beset, landings on remote islands to obtain fresh provisions and make observations, and the subsequent homeward passage via several island calls. Journal entries are supplemented by practical shipboard detail and appendices covering geological, natural history, meteorological, hydrographic, and medical notes.
