Admiral Nicholas Lambert – författare

The renowned Scottish artist Dame Barbara Rae DBE RA has long been fascinated by the polar regions. Published to accompany an exhibition at the Royal Scottish Academy, Edinburgh, in its bicentenary year, this sumptuous volume reproduces a host of new works made on Rae’s recent voyages to Antarctica. There she traced the journeys of the explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton during the ill-fated Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1914–17), visiting such remote locations as South Georgia and Elephant Island.
