No book emphasizes better than Ponting's noted account of the British Antarctic Expedition of 1910-1913 the achievement that its final tragedy has overshadowed. His photographs show the most striking, magnificent scenery of the last unexplored continent, and his narrative features such alarming episodes as his narrow escape from the jaws of several killer whales while trying to photograph them.Filled with haunting images of the polar landscape, Great White South stands as a testament to man's desire for both knowledge and challenge.

This classic book contains Ponting's well-written and witty account of Captain Scott's final Antarctic expedition of 1910-12. Fully detailed and with many of Ponting's own photographs, this moving account will make an excellent addition to the bookshelf of any admirer of Captain Scott, or anyone with an interest in travel and adventure. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
