	OWEN BEATTIE; JOHN GEIGER; Frozen in Time 1989, Grafton Paperback B Format (Approx. 7¾" x 5¼"). 179pp. Index. Bibliography. Notes [Illustrated with colour photographs. First in this edition. Since the summer of 1848, when the long trek of an unknown British sailor from Sir John Franklin’s third arctic expedition ended on the southern shores of King William Island, his bones had waited to tell their story. With every year that passed the chances of their discovery on that arctic island became more remote as the ravages of each fierce winter and the run-off from melting snow and ice each brief summer threatened to sweep them away for ever. Then, on 29 June 1981, 133 years after the sailor’s death, part of a bleached human skull was discovered by University of Alberta scientists on a low spit of land that juts into the icy waters of Simpson Strait. This book tells The Fate of the Franklin Expedition.] Condition Very Good. Pages very gently age-tanned. ISBN: 0586203206. Very Good. Pages very gently age-tanned.

	WILLIAM LAIRD MCKINLEY Karluk 1976, B.C.A. Hardback in Dust Wrapper (DJ). 10" x 7". 170pp. Index. Jacket by Behram Kapadia. Notes [This book tells for the first time the full story of the Karluk, the leading ship of Stefansson’s Arctic Expedition of 1913-18, which was crushed and sunk in ice almost before the expedition had properly begun. The ship’s crew of twenty-five people were left stranded on the Arctic ice while their leader continued his northern exploration, not returning for five years. In the circumstances the results were inevitably tragic. Eight men died moving across the heaving ice-floes, one man shot himself, two died of malnutrition and the rest barely managed to keep alive until rescue came. The account of their ordeal is a deeply moving tribute to human courage and endurance and, above all, to man’s overpowering will to live. The book is illustrated with a selection of extraordinary photographs taken at the time, most of which have never been seen before.] Condition Very Good - in Very Good DJ.

Escaping from his floating prison in an open whaleboat, he drifted for two thousand miles across the Pacific, only to be washed up on the shores of an island shunned by all nineteenth century mariners, Malaita in the Solomon Islands. There he was stripped of his clothes and possessions by a tribe of head-hunters and was forced to ‘go native’ to survive. Initially a slave to their chief, Kabou, he eventually became the man’s most trusted warrior and advisor, loved by him ‘as my first-born son’. Jack Renton’s own account of his eight-year exile, published after he was rescued, caused a sensation, though it is now clear that it airbrushes out most of the key events that brought about this transformation.

	SIR ERNEST SHACKLETON South 2001, Birlinn Paperback Trade Paperback (9¼" x 6"). 277pp. Notes [This was a journey that began in August 1914 with high hopes of a first in exploration and ended two years later in a desperate struggle for survival, after the expedition’s ship, the Endurance, was first trapped in sea-ice, then crushed. Shackleton, with a handful of this party, braved the fury of the South Atlantic as they made their desperate 800-milejourney from Elephant Island to South Georgia aboard the James Caird. This small boat –just over 20 ft long – was pitted against the fury of the southern ocean. The survival of the entire expedition was hinged on this last gamble… Illustrated with B&W photographs.] Condition Near Fine. Previous owners inscription to ½-title page. ISBN: 1841581186. Near Fine.
