Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book details the auroral observations recorded between 1910-1913 during the British (Terra Nova) Antarctic Expedition. The observations were made by members of the expedition crew during the absence of the expedition's lead scientist, who organized the project. Despite the absence of specialized equipment, the author notes that the detailed sketches and written observations are invaluable due to the remote location's influence on perception. The aurora was seen to occur with greater frequency and intensity than expected, with the results suggesting daily and yearly patterns in its appearance. The research contained within has informed modern scientific understanding of the subject and remains a vital resource for researchers and historians alike. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781332446209_0
