Synopsis

A major new polar history book that includes the stirring and previously unpublished diaries of a remarkable explorer and the man who would prove to be Sir Ernest Shackleton's harshest critic. The depth of Butler and Riffenburgh’s research is a feat of its own and we are given a unique insight into an Edwardian whose recognition is long overdue.
