    Title TWO YEARS IN THE ANTARCTIC.
    Publishing Information London: Lutterworth Press: 1955.
    Description 1st Edition; 194pages, illustrated with b/w photos and drawings in text in pictorial clipped dust jacket. Shelfware. Booksellers label on verso front cover, dustjacket tatty with old sellotape repairs. Contents clean. A personal account of two years spent in British Antarctica, in the second year they were joined by an American expedition and later combined to complete an extensive survey of the East Coast of the Graham Land peninsula, includes detail of how the expedition actually lived in Antarctica, how they organized their base, trained their dog teams and carried out their work. This is a fascinating account of Kevin Walton's trek to Antarctica in the late 1940s. It is written in such a way as to enable his readers in their imaginations to share in his experiences. He gives a vivid and authentic impression of what it really feels like to be a member of a polar expedition - to be wintering in a base hut or to be sledging with dogs (perhaps the most exhilirating part of such an expedition).
