Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. The Macmillan Company of New Zealand, Auckland, New Zealand, 1981. Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: very good protected covering. First Thus. "The title with its deliberate ambiguity, is the key to this book's existence. It could, and indeed it should, be taken as a tribute to the great men of the heroic age of Antarctic exploration in the early days of this century. Or alternatively, as the expression of the feeling of going backwards in time, experienced by the parties of volunteers who spend some weeks each summer repairing, recording and preserving the huts and sites from which the great exploring expeditions set out.So, in this book there is a chronicle of modern caretaking work, and such brief sketches of the personalities, the plans, and the achievements of the pioneers as can be deduced from the old encampments, and the old records." This book has 113 pages and is profusely illustrated. Overall, a VERY GOOD copy of this SCARCE title.…
