Publisher's Synopsis
The South Pole V1 is a book written by Roald Amundsen, a Norwegian explorer who was the first person to reach the South Pole in 1911. The book is a detailed account of Amundsen's expedition to the South Pole, including the preparations, the journey, and the ultimate achievement of reaching the southernmost point on Earth. It is a first-hand account of the harsh conditions and challenges faced by the expedition team, including extreme weather, difficult terrain, and the constant threat of starvation and illness. The South Pole V1 is a fascinating and gripping account of one of the greatest expeditions in history, and provides a unique insight into the mind of a true explorer.The provisions were chosen with the greatest care, and packed with every precaution. All groceries were soldered in tin boxes, and then enclosed in strong wooden cases. The packing of tinned provisions is of enormous importance to a Polar expedition; it is impossible to give too much attention to this part of the supplies. Any carelessness, any perfunctory packing on the part of the factory, will as a rule lead to scurvy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
