First on the Antarctic Continent : Being an Account of the British Antarctic Expedition, 1898–1900

Omtale

Norwegian-born Carsten Egeberg Borchgrevink (1864–1934) led the British Antarctic Expedition (1898–1900), which overwintered for the first time on the continent. The expedition constructed the first building in Antarctica, was the first to use sledge dogs, and set a new farthest south record. This illustrated 1901 publication illuminates these endeavours.
