"Columbus crossed the Atlantic Ocean on his third voyage in charge of three vessels on a treasure-hunting expedition undertaken, ironically enough, in the name of the Most Blessed Trinity, and at Noon on July 31st, 1497, he sighted land. Three mountain peaks, merging their bases into one, gradually rose from the iris-blue sea, and these peaks symbolising 'The Holy Three,' Columbus named his discovery 'La Trinidad.' - the opening paragraph.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. A very good copy of this extremely scare Antarctic narrative. This book provides an interesting and highly readable accounting of the discovery of Scott Island and the first landing on Beaufort Island, as well as the personal impressions of the Southern party of the expedition upon their return. Written with warm wit and a sharp eye for detail, the author provides descriptions of the contemporary lives and friendships between the members about the Morning. Perhaps aiding the warm tone of this book is the fact that no crew members on the Morning died a frozen death, has limbs amputated, or irretrievably falls into a crevice. This marks the narrative as unique from its peers in both tone and content. Doorly paints a vivid picture of what the sailors and officers were thinking on their voyage of discovery and how he saw them in 1904, before the world began to regard them as "heroes", tragic or otherwise.
