A "record of four expeditions made in four successive summer seasons, the only time when such ventures are remotely practicable in a part of the less-discovered world where the weather is the main obstacle to any sort of activity. These expeditions made useful botanical and geological investigations, established the existence of a hitherto disputed active volcano, and included some rewarding mountaineering in the unclimbed peaks of Tierra del Fuego, but the main point of the journey was to prove they could be done in the face of driving rain and snow." - from dust-jacket blurb.
