First Edition
hardcover. 2003 First Edition. 294pp, hardback, New in dustwrapper. South Georgia had been the gateway to the Antarctic for many of the early expeditions to the continent. Ludwig Kohl-Larsen first visited the island in 1911 as a doctor on the Otto Nordenskjold expedition. Seeing South Georgia kindled in him an enthusiasm for returning to the Antarctic. He married Captain Larsen's daughter and used his close connection with the Larsen family to return, firstly in 1924 on board the first whaling factory ship (Sir James Clark Ross) and then, in 1929, to travel around South Georgia and film the wildlife. He spent a summer camped in various parts of the island, exploring the interior on skis, collecting specimens and filming. This is the story of this private expedition, translated for the first time from the German. Glacier Books are experienced and professional booksellers. We take pride in offering carefully described books and excellent customer service.

Dark blue cloth boards with gilt title to spine. Endpaper maps. Protected in mylar. "John King Davis was born in London in 1884. He was educated at London and Burford Grammar School in Oxfordshire and at the age of sixteen he signed on as an apprentice in the Liverpool sailing ship Celtic Chief. Davis joined the British Antarctic Expedition, 1907-1909 (leader Ernest Henry Shackleton), as chief officer of Nimrod and received his first command when he succeeded Frederick Pryce Evans as captain on the return voyage. He was then invited to serve as second in command on the Australasian Antarctic Expedition, 1911-1914 (leader Douglas Mawson), and was captain of the expedition ship Aurora. On this expedition he made three summer voyages of relief and exploration as well as oceanographic cruises between Tasmania and East Antarctica. After becoming involved in the First World War, Davis led the British Relief Expedition, 1917, organized to rescue the survivors of the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition, [Ross Sea Party], 1914-1917 (Captains Mackintosh and Stenhouse). In 1920, he became the Director of Navigation for the Commonwealth of Australia and held this post until 1949. His distinguished career also included a period from 1929 to 1930 as captain of Discovery and second in command during the first summer of the British, Australian and New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition, 1929-1931. He died in Australia on 7 May 1967." (from JISC Archives, UK).

Mawson and Davis became closely acquainted during Shackleton's 1907-9 expedition, and Mawson later recruited Davis to be captain of the Aurora on the 1911-14 Australasian Antarctic Expedition. Originally published in a small edition in 1919 this is the record of the voyages of Aurora in Southern Waters, written from a sailor's point of view. Built in 1876 as an Arctic whaler Aurora, though old and battered, captained by Davis, managed three Antarctic voyages in support of Mawson and his men.
