An early edition of this hugely influential account of Captain Scott's fateful Terra Nova expedition, in which he and 4 other explorers perished on their return from the Antarctic's geographic south pole. The first volume contains Scott's journals and farewell letters found with his person by a search party 8 months after the expedition. The second volume contains the journals of crew member Edward Wilson, who also died on the expedition, alongside the scientific discoveries of those that survived. This second printing of the text was published the same year as the first edition, as the title was so popular at the time of publication that it required 5 print runs in the 4 months between November 1913 and February 1914. Less common in such nice condition. This is a heavy set and may require additional postage if being shipped outside of Europe. Large 8vo.
