Book Description hardcover. 2003 reprint. 44pp, hardback, New in dustrapper. This is the only account of Shackleton s Ross Sea shore party other than Joyce s The South Polar Trail and Shackleton s secondhand summary in South . Richards published after a lapse of 45 years, mainly for the benefit of his family, but also because he wasn t satisfied with Joyce s account. Richards had left his sledging diary behind at Cape Evans when the men hurriedly left in 1917. When New Zealand s Huts Restoration Committee cleared the ice out of the Cape Evans hut in 1960/61, Richard s diary was found on his bunk and returned to him.

Original covers in pictorial unclipped dust jacket. Previous owners neat inscription on front end paper otherwise contents clean, appears unread. In August 1914 Shackleton set sail for the South Pole on the Endurance. His Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition was to attempt a trans-continental journey from the Weddell Sea to the Ross Sea. Shackleton was doubtful if enough provisions could be carried by the trans- continental party for the complete journey, so his plan called for a second ship to land a team in McMurdo Sound, whose task it would be to lay food depots every 60 miles, as far south as the Beardmore Glacier. This party, on board the Aurora, sailed late in the same year. In January 1915, they landed at McMurdo. However, after a fearful storm, their ship was ripped from its moorings and along with it went most of their supplies. Refusing to give up, the men scavenged enough from an earlier expedition and set out to do their work. They trekked across some 2000 miles, always convinced that when they completed their task, Shackleton would have sufficient supplies for the latter part of his journey. Three men died along the way. It is one of the really notable polar journeys; ten men marooned with none of their own fuel, clothes or stores, yet by improvisation managing to stock depots for a party that would never arrive. R.W. Richards, a young Australian physicist, set down his personal story for the Scott Polar Research Institute. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilogram.
