Publisher: London: Rupert Hart-Davis, 1961

Edition: 1st UK, 2nd impression

Binding: Hardback

In this handsome little volume, a unique and fascinating account of the expedition Tilman led to the distant Crozen and Kerguelen islands in the Southern Indian Ocean, recounting the sailing voyage, the exploration and climbing and the wildlife encountered in the title. Truly, in its holistic treatment, a firm contender for the best 'not just another mountaineering book'. The book has no marks or inscriptions but is foxed slightly to occasional pages and to the text block edges. Old label residue to front end paper. Jacket is very good on the whole with just some old tape marks to front flap.
