Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Set against the backdrop of an early 20th-century expedition, the narrative details a challenging journey to the South, where explorers established three depots stocked with provisions, including seal meat. Navigating a landscape devoid of landmarks, they relied on flags to mark their locations. The journey highlighted the effectiveness of dog-sledging over a smooth barrier, allowing the team to cover impressive distances despite extreme cold, with temperatures plummeting to -49° F. The account captures both the hardships and the strategic planning involved in polar exploration.
