The British Graham Land Expedition was a completely amateur expedition, except for their ship's Royal Navy Captain and engineer. "The objectives were simple: experience the adventure of polar living, matching danger and daring while exploring Graham Land by ship, sledge and airplane" "To sum up the results of a complex expedition working over a long period is difficult; especially as the scientists of the party will not be prepared to make any definite statements about the research in their particular branches of science for many months, when they will have finished working up their results. But as far as our exploratory work is concerned, we were able to work in a previously unvisited part of the Antarctic and make two major discoveries. First, that Graham Land is part of the Antarctic Continent and not an archipelago, as was previously thought, and secondly, that a great channel running approximately north and south separates Graham Land from Alexander Land. Since our return to England, His Majesty the King has graciously given permission for this channel to be called King George VI Sound." - Author's preface.(Conrad 302, Renard 1337 and 1338, Spence 1017, SPRI 14274) Quantity Available: 1.

An Australian-born British explorer and aviator, Rymill conducted important geographical and scientific work in the Antarctic Peninsula region. The book chronicles the expedition's three-year journey, during which they used both traditional sledging methods and aircraft to explore and map previously unknown areas of what was then called Graham Land (now part of the Antarctic Peninsula). The expedition was notable for its successful combination of aviation with traditional polar exploration techniques.
