NoteIn 1910, Robert Falcon Scott journeyed to the Ross Sea with the goal of becoming the first man to reach the South Pole. He was accompanied by a team of scientists, dog handlers, and sailors. Among them was physicist and glaciologist Charles Wright, later Sir Charles Wright. Adrian Raeside, our special guest, is the grandson of Charles Wright. Adrian is the custodian of his grandfather’s journals, letters and artifacts from that historic expedition. The book will be released in 2010 in celebration of the centenary of that tragic expedition. Adrian will also present photographs of the expedition taken from his grandfather’s private collection as well as cinematic footage taken by one of of Antarctica’s mosst famous photographers, Herbert Ponting. Although he grew up surrounded by Antarctic memomorabilia, Adrian has never visited the huts in the Ross Sea sector of Antarctica that played such a significant role in the life of his grandfather. This journey will help Adrian put the finishing touches to the manuscript of the book. When he isn’t writing books about his grandfather, Adrian is an internationally syndicated editorial cartoonist, creator of the The Other Coast comic strip and the author of 12 humor books. -Jan 07, 09 | Great Antarctic Explorers | $18,500 | $25,500 | $33,500 | $35,500 |
