Seller: BOOKHOME SYDNEY, Annandale Sydney, NSW, Australia
Paperback octavo, very good condition, black & white & sepia (brown-tinted) & colour photos, light foxing edges, pages lightly toned, minor edgewear. 305 pp. In 2013, Australian earth scientist Chris Turney led an ambitious expedition to Antarctica to gather essential data on the changing polar environment. Turney's ship, the Shokalskiy, with 71 people on board, became trapped in pack ice on Christmas Eve. The hull of the ship was pierced by a tower of ice. This is a classic adventure story with a 21st century twist. Unlike Edwardian Antarctic explorer Ernest Shackleton, the author had his wife and children with him, and they all had a very long and dangerous wait to be rescued. This memoir of their own ill-fated Antarctic voyage, also recounts the history of humankind's dangerous but irresistible fascination with the world's least known continent. SCARCE.
