Item description from seller

1st UK Edition; xii, 326 pages, illustrated, 116 illustrations including 4 photogravures, 16 special plates, 1 folding map. Original covers with polar bear to spine and rear cover. Shelf wear, bumped, prelims show ghosting as usual, pages 105/107 has been poorly cut at some stage, contents clean, closed repaired tear to margins of large folding map (not affecting map) neatly repaired with archive tape, this map is now laid in. One of two London editions dated 1910, the other issued by Methuen; priority is unclear. Both London editions have a greater number of illustrations than the first (U.S.) edition, but the sixteen plates listed as coloured in the list of illustrations, while printed on cream rather than white stock, are black & white only. A nice copy. American explorer Robert Peary's interesting account of his expedition from 1908-1909 to the North Pole, the expedition in which he claimed to have reached the Pole. This was a controversial claim and was widely debated alongside Frederick Cook competing claim. The debate continues to this day, with some thinking that he simply just came within a few miles of the Pole. This is the first UK edition. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 5 kilogram. Category: Arctic & Antarctic; Antarctic; Exploration. Pictures of this item not already displayed here available upon request. Inventory No: 2677. This book is extra heavy, and may involve extra shipping charges to some countries.
