XLVIII,371; XV,419 pp.First edition. - The official account of Shackleton's first Antarctic expedition. Shackleton (1874-1922) organized the British Imperial Antarctic Expedition of 1907-09 to conquer the South Pole with the small whaler Nimrod. First of all he attempted to anchor in Whale Bay and go ashore, but he was prevented by the insurmountable masses of ice. His attemp to call at King Edward II Land was also thwarted. Eventually he managed to establish a camp on Ross Island. There one group climbed Mount Erebus and another proceeded in the direction of the South Magnetic Pole, which it reached on 16 January, 1909. In the meantime, Shackleton and his companions fought their way through a blizzard that brought them frustatingly to a halt just 180 kilometres from the pole.Howgego III, S19; Spence 1097; Conrad p.137-140; Headland 1383.

This important work by Shackleton tells about the story of the famous British Antarctic Expedition, which was carried out between 1907 and 1909 by a group of courageous explorers: "The shore party consisted of fifteen men, including Shackleton. Professor T.W. Edgeworth David and Douglas Mawson had embarked at Sydney. Their sledge journey to the south magnetic pole was one of the three foremost achievements of this expedition. The other two achievements were, first, the ascent and survey of Mount Erebus (12,448 feet), the active volcano on Ross Island and, second, the southern sledge journey, which reached within 100 miles of the south pole" (ODNB).

Erstausgabe
First trade edition, first impression, with the scarce dust jackets remarkably well-preserved. Shackleton's account of the British Antarctic Expedition of 1907-9 (Nimrod) was reviewed on publication by the Manchester Guardian as "the best book of polar travel which has ever been written". The sledge expedition to the south magnetic pole "was one of the three foremost achievements of this expedition. The other two achievements were, first, the ascent and survey of Mount Erebus (12,448 feet), the active volcano on Ross Island and, second, the southern sledge journey, which reached within 100 miles of the south pole" (ODNB). In September 1908 David, MacKay, and Mawson set out for the magnetic pole. The group was weighed down by two sledges carrying heavy equipment and provisions that were man-hauled in relay. Both David and Mawson fell into a crevasse on the journey out and only narrowly escaped death. They reached the magnetic pole in January 1909, calculating their position as 72° 25'S / 155°16'E. David, Mawson, Marshall, Mackay, Adams, and Brocklehurst made a gruelling ascent of Mount Erebus, Antarctica's second highest volcano, in March 1908. The group was inadequately provisioned and equipped but nevertheless successfully made it to the rim of the crater, from where Mawson measured the depth and Marshall determined the altitude. The excursion had been badly organized and resulted in damaged equipment "but it boosted the morale [and] taught some valuable lessons" (Howgego). In October 1908, Shackleton, Adams, Marshall, and Wild set out on their trek to the pole with four pony-drawn sledges. They passed Scott's farthest south in November, which was celebrated with two tablespoons of Curaçao for each member. Weather conditions quickly worsened and in January 1909, to Shackleton's great dismay, the party had to return. They had reached 88° 23'S, 162 East, a new record and only 100 miles from the south pole. During the return journey, the men became emaciated from lack of food and Marshall had grown very ill with dysentery. Shackleton and Wild left Marshall and Adams and set out to Hut Point for help. They returned a week later, and in early March all of the expedition members were back on the Nimrod for the return voyage to England. It is remarkable that all the members of the party survived the ordeal, their survival attributed to Shackleton's exceptional leadership qualities. The British Antarctic Expedition undoubtedly established Shackleton as "a bona-fide English hero" (Books on Ice). Sir Raymond Priestley (1886-1974), a British Geologist and Antarctic explorer who accompanied Shackleton on the 1907-1913 Antarctic expeditions, said, "For scientific leadership, give me Scott; for swift and efficient travel, Amundsen; but when you are in a hopeless situation, when there seems to be no way out, get on your knees and pray for Shackleton".
