First and only edition. Publisher's original navy blue cloth with gilt titles to the upper board and spine. Illustrated with 16 black and white plates, 14 charts and diagrams (eight full page and six folding, including four large loose maps in a pocket to the rear, as issued). An excellent near fine copy, the binding square and firm, the cloth and gilt bright and fresh. The contents, with an ownership signature on the blank front endpaper and a very few light foxing spots to the prelims, are otherwise clean throughout.
A very attractive example of Gordon J. Hayes' seminal work on Antarctica.
