The Crossing of Antarctica

The Commonwealth trans-Antarctic Expedition 1955-58.

“A story of courage and enterprise, of endurance and cheerfulness, that will stir the hearts and minds of young people of all ages for generations to come.” – Sir Edward Appleton FRS, in The Scotsman.

“Although the everlasting ice remains as the background to all that happens, it is a story on an altogether more human scale which finally emerges and which gives this account its particular interest. Photographs which must leave even a reader familiar with Alpine and Himalayan colouring admiring and amazed.” – The Times.
