There is a four digit number stamped at the top of the preface page, indicating that this volume may have come from a library (no other evidence of such origin apparent). All plates and (three) folding maps present. The maps are in excellent condition. Internally, very clean, with light soiling to only one or two pages. Overall, as re-bound, in very good condition. The first American edition of the work originally published by T. Fisher Unwin in 1914. Spence 939; Rosove 256. A2. Priestley (1886-1974) joined the 1907-1909 British Antarctic expedition led by Sir Ernest Shackleton, and contributed geological sections to Shackleton's THE HEART OF THE ANTARCTIC (1909). He later joined Scott's ill-fated second expedition, out of which he published (in 1914) this volume, an account of the two winters (1911 and 1912) he, and his scientific team, spent in the Antarctic environment. In 1920, he helped Frank Debenham found the Scott Polar Research Institure at Cambridge.
