Thick Soft Cover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Original expedition postcard signed in pen by hand by each member of the expedition (not printed copies of the signatures). This was the South Indian Ocean Expedition To Heard Island. The team sailed in the small boat, the Patanela skippered by H. W. Tilman, to Heard Island, an antarctic volcanic island and one of the most remote places on earth with the objective of making the first ascent of the heavily glaciated highest peak, Mawson Peak on Big Ben (2745m). The team succeeded in making the ascent. The card has a b/w image of Big Ben and an inset b/w photo image of the Patanela on the illustrated side. There is an expedition cachet rubber stamp on the image side. On the address side there is one Australian postage stamp canceled 17 March 1965 in Sydney. It has a rubber stamp describing the stages of the voyage with dates, the expedition cachet rubber stamp mark, a Kerguelen dated cancel stamp, the printed names of the team members with the handsigned signature of each next to their respective printed name. The card has minor toning to the address side, sharp corners, strong signatures with no fading, no tears or loss. This expedition is described in H. W. Tilman's book, MOSTLY MISCHIEF and in Philip Temple's book, THE SEA AND THE SNOW. Very uncommon expedition card with scarce signature of H. W. Tilman. In 1987 Tilman perished without a trace along with all hands in the icy waters somewhere between Rio de Janiero and the Falkland Islands when their boat foundered.
