    Publishing Information Malvern: The Knell Press, 1982. 0950821802
    Description New Edition 1982, (originally published 1955 by Lutterworth Press). SIGNED by author on title page, also Tony Baker, (Ex BAS Halley Bay, carpenter). Tony Baker's copy his name and address on front end paper. 194 pages, illustrated, 51 b/w photos, 6 line illustrations. Original covers in unclipped dust jacket. Old Sellotape markings where dust jacket had previously been stuck to book, 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 organised 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 exhilarating part of such an expedition).
