Encuadernación de tapa dura. Zustand: Bien. Con dos capítulos por A. Stephenson y una introducción histórica por Hugh Robert Mill. Traducción de Carlos M. Reyles. 284 páginas + mapa desplegable. Obra cumbre de la literatura de exploración polar y un valiosísimo testimonio documental de la llamada "Edad de Plata" de la investigación antártica. Publicado en español en 1943 por la editorial Espasa Calpe Argentina, el volumen recoge con precisión científica y tono meticuloso —casi a modo de diario— la crónica real de la tripulación a bordo de la goleta Penola. Su objetivo principal era topografiar y cartografiar la Tierra de Graham, una de las zonas más inhóspitas y entonces desconocidas de la Península Antártica. Valiéndose de trineos de perros, lanchas a motor y un pequeño avión Fox Moth, este reducido grupo de científicos logró demostrar geográficamente que los supuestos canales divisados por exploradores previos no existían, confirmando que la Tierra de Graham formaba parte del continente antártico y no de un archipiélago. El volumen destaca por incorporar detalladas observaciones meteorológicas, itinerarios, mapas desplegables e ilustraciones. El autor, John Rymill (John Riddoch Rymill, 1905-1968), fue un eminente explorador, geógrafo y pionero polar de origen australiano. Criado en el entorno rural del sur de su país natal, desarrolló desde joven una afinidad natural por los animales y habilidades prácticas de supervivencia que le serían de gran utilidad en climas extremos. Tras formarse en el prestigioso Scott Polar Research Institute de Cambridge y participar en expediciones científicas en Groenlandia junto al legendario explorador Gino Watkins, Rymill asumió el liderazgo de la Expedición Británica a la Tierra de Graham (BGLE). Su agudeza logística, su estilo de liderazgo pragmático y su empeño por aprender las técnicas de desplazamiento y vestimenta de los esquimales hicieron que su campaña antártica fuera catalogada por la prensa y la comunidad científica internacional como uno de los mayores y más eficientes hitos cartográficos de la historia polar moderna.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. London, Chatto and Windus, 1938 (first edition). Quarto, xvi, 296 pages with several maps and illustrations plus 81 pages of plates and 4 colour maps (3 folding). Green cloth with a contrasting gilt-lettered cloth title-label on the spine; cloth a little marked, rubbed and lightly sunned on the spine; top edge dyed green, bottom edge uncut (and now a little shelf-marked); endpapers lightly tanned, with early ownership details on the (slightly marked) front free endpaper; short sealed tear near the stub of the last folding map; a very good copy. John Riddoch Rymill (1905-1968), polar explorer and farmer, was the leader of the expedition; he was born in Penola, South Australia, a grandson of the pioneer John Riddoch. 'Rymill's party proved that Graham Land was part of a continental extension (now the Antarctic Peninsula). They discovered a southern, permanently frozen channel, later named King George VI Sound, islanding Alexander I Land (now Alexander Island) and extending to the Bellingshausen Sea. The B.G.L.E. logistics were innovative in Antarctica. Outstanding sledging with dogs, especially over sea ice, was backed by air support and depot laying; the use of a motor launch probing ahead to plot a route for "Penola" through uncharted, rock-strewn waters, was original and successful. The "Penola" covered 26,896 miles (43,283 km) mostly under sail' ('Australian Dictionary of Biography').…
