The Lonely South - Kerguelen & The Antarctic

Rupert Hart-Davis, London, 1956. Hard back with DW in good used condition. Previous owner name inside. Some foxing to page edges. DW has chipping to edges.
Andre Migot was a French doctor, volunteered to spend a year in Kerguelen in the remote and stormy south of the Indian Ocean. He then travelled to Mawson on the Antarctic continent. This account of these 2 expeditions is at once an exciting adventure story, a portrait gallery of exotic birds and beasts and a profound comment on human behaviour and human nature (from the blurb)
