LIFE IN THE ANTARCTIC Photographs by the Scottish Antarctic
Expedition,. William Bruce's Voyage of the 'Scotia' 1902 - 1904
Antarctic Expedition The publishers beg to draw particular note to
the fact that the illustrations in this little book are all
reproductions of genuine photographs from life, taken by the Leader
and Staff of the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition, during the
voyage of the 'Scotia' 1902 - 1904. Practically all of them are
unique, many of the mammals and birds never having been previously
photographed. They were taken under conditions of climate which
made photography extremely difficult and often impossible. They are
not touched up in anyway by the engravers, and may be implicitly
relied upon as correct representations of the actual environments
of Antarctic mammals and birds. This Facsimile has been created
from the original 1907 first edition, each photo professionally
scanned.
