The Polar Book created for the British Polar Exhibition of 1930 that celebrated the history of Polar discoveries and expeditions of the day. This is the first edition as a case bound hardback, complete with two coloured maps designed by John Bartholomew. This book celebrates Polar discoveries and expeditions, with chapters on the history of Polar discoveries, geophysics, geology, flora and fauna along with equipment needed and used at the time.Contributors: G T Atkinson and H R Mil.The Foreword is by L.C. Bernacchi. Louis Charles Bernacchi (8 November 1876 - 24 April 1942), a physicist and astronomer, is best known for his role in several expeditions to the Antarctic. He joined Carstens Borchgrevink's Southern Cross expedition (1898-1900) which wintered at Cape Adare, Antarctica, joining the expedition in New Zealand after the previous physicist candidate had been rejected on medical grounds. The expedition was the first to spend the winter on the Antarctic continent (the Belgian Antarctic Expedition having been first to overwinter in 1898) and the first to sledge towards the South Pole. He wrote a book about the expedition To the south polar regions: expedition of 1898-1900 published in 1900.
