Description
First Italian edition of the account of Ernest Shackleton's 1907-1909 expedition to the South Pole, published in London with the title The Heart of the Antarctic in 1909. An epic undertaking that began with the landing on Ross Island in January 1908, the climbing of Mount Erebus and the reaching of 88.33 South Latitude on 9 January 1909, about 200 km from the Pole; on the return journey, Shackleton and his four companions walked 2300 km in the freezing Antarctic. The account of the expedition with Shackleton's diary is followed by chapters dedicated to scientific observations. The text is accompanied by 11 colour plates, 275 black and white plates, engravings in the text and two enclosed folded maps. Of the 12 colour plates planned for our copy, only one is missing, namely The Aurora Australis (page 250) in the first volume.
