North Melbourne: Australian Scholarly Publishing. Date: 2022. MINT - a NEW book. Illustrated with Black and White plates. x, 227 pages. For 70 years powerful countries despatched expeditions to explore the south polar regions. By 1843 they had seen enough to realise that this most remote and impenetrable place offered considerable danger and no strategic or economic benefit. The great nations turned away. In the 1880s Melbourne's men of science formed a committee to revive interest in Antarctic exploration. They canvassed the colonies and the world in attempts to raise an expedition. Ultimately unsuccessful, they did though inspire the first publicly recorded landing on the Antarctic continent by Henrik Bull and the crew of his whaling expedition. This created a sensation and led to the first overwintering on the Antarctic continent by crewman C.E. Borchgrevink's expedition. The book outlines early Antarctic exploration and concentrates on Melbourne’s Antarctic Exploration Committee and the voyages of Bull and Borchgrevink. Robust, professional packaging and tracking provided for all parcels. . New. 1st Edition. Trade Paperback. 2022. Australian Scholarly Publishing ISBN 1922669946 9781922669940 [AU]

Paperback / softback. New. Great nations had by 1880 lost interest in the South Polar regions. Decades of tentative exploration had found nothing of strategic or economic significance. Melbourne's men of science wondered otherwise, however, and enthusiastically tried to raise an expedition. They failed in this-yet inspired the first publicly recorded landing on the Antarctic continent, by Henrik Bull and his whaling expedition out of Melbourne. This sensational news led to the first overwintering in Antarctica, by crewman C.E. Borchgrevink's expedition. McConville describes Australia's early Antarctic explorations, the efforts of Melbourne's Antarctic Exploration Committee, and the daring exploratory voyages of Bull and Borchgrevink.
