Cold the record of an Antarctic sledge journey

"Because in this most modern of expeditions, the dog sledge journey of the geological party was after the traditions of another day in polar exploration; because it enabled us to know the romance and the glamour of the days of Nansen and Peary and Shackleton and Scott; because it added much new information to our knowledge of the Antarctic, and perhaps most of all, because we had such great fun in doing it, I have wanted to tell the story of what has been generously referred to as the 'last real polar sledge journey.' My story is concerned primarily with the sledge journey to the Queen Maud Mountains and the things that led up to it. Since these had their beginning in March 1929 with the loss of the Fokker plane in the Rockefeller Mountains, whither I had flown with Balchen and June to make a geological reconnaissance, my story opens with an account of our adventures on that enterprise. It carries on from there through the winter night of preparations and on throughout the sledge trek to our return to Little America in late January 1930"--Book.
