From the DJ " Compared to some of the later expeditions of the famous "heroic era" of Antarctic Exploration (1895-1917), less is known of the expedition led by Carsten Borchgrevink to Cape Adare where the first wintering on the continent took place in 1899. This book is only the third account of that expedition, the others being Borchgrevink'sand Bernacchi's narratives both published in 1901. The writer and editor is the grand-daughter of Bernacchi, whose diaries are held by the Scott Polar Institute in Cambridge.
