Books, Manuscripts
The first crossing of Antarctica in 1957/58 by the Trans-Antarctic Expedition, led by Sir Vivian 'Bunny' Fuchs, was one of the 20th century's great triumphs of exploration. Sir Ernest Shackleton famously attempted to cross the great white continent during his ill-fated Endurance voyage, and now, 100 years after he set out, this illustrated volume celebrates the men who succeeded where he had failed and rewrote the history books.
