Near fine covers with very good interior. Rosove 76.A2 Howgego III C24C. Frederick Albert Cook 1865-1940 was a physician and polar explorer during the Heroic Age of Polar exploration. He also organized one of the first polar tourist excursions to Greenland. He began his polar experience in 1891 as a surgeon on Robert Peary's second Greenland expedition. This book is about his participation in the Belgian Antarctic Expedition of 1897 in the Belgica under the command of Adrien De Gerlache de Gomery. The ship became icebound in the Bellingshausen Sea and was forced to over winter. This book was the first significant English-language account of over wintering in Antarctica until Gerlache's book was translated in 1998. From Rosove this book was "superior to the other two from both literary and informational viewpoints. Cook based his book . on his diary notes and recollections; he included some of the scientific results in the appendices ." Roald Amundsen was the mate on the expedition and gained his only Antarctic experience before his own expedition in 1911 to reach the South Pole. Doubleday & McClure Co unknown books

American physician Frederick Albert Cook was the surgeon on Robert Peary's Arctic expedition of 1891-1892 and on the Belgian Antarctic Expedition of 1897-1899. He contributed to saving the lives of its crew members when their ship--the Belgica--was ice-bound during the winter as they had not prepared for such an event. It became the first expedition to winter in the Antarctic region. To prevent scurvy Cook went hunting to keep the crew supplied with fresh meat. "His narrative is certainly one of the finest and most interesting from any Antarctic expedition" Rosove and the first to contain an extensive photographic record of the region.
