About This Book

Het verslag is een ooggetuigenverslag van een Antarctische expeditie en beschrijft fondsenwerving en organisatie, de zeereis en de keuze van winterkwartier, gedetailleerde uitrusting en bevoorrading, wetenschappelijke doelstellingen en experimenten met pony’s en een automobiel. Het combineert technische toelichtingen op kleding, tenten en sleden met het dagelijks leven in de hut, logistieke problemen van voedsel en brandstof en gevaarlijke sledetochten over spleten en ijskap. Daarnaast documenteert het veldwaarnemingen, kaartvorming en geologische en biologische observaties en benadrukt het menselijk uithoudingsvermogen, improvisatie en de beperkingen bij het naderen van de Zuidpool.
