First edition, limited issue of 150 copies signed by the editor. This is the first appearance of the complete Antarctic journal kept by Reginald Skelton, who was chief engineer and official photographer to Captain Scott's Discovery expedition, and includes Skelton's sledging diary from the so-called Western Journey -- the first to reach the Antarctic plateau. Many of the illustrations are from Skelton's own photographs. - This edition is getting rather rare on the market.
