Another in a line of terrific, large-format, Antarctic photo books, this documenting the work of Herbert Ponting. Like Frank Hurley, Ponting has left us with a wealth of images covering the important early exploration of the Antarctic continent. This huge collection of images is from the archives at both the Royal Geographic Society and the Scott Polar Research Institute. Chapters are written by Beau Riffenburgh, Liz Cruwys, and H. J. P. Arnold. This makes a nice companion to Huntford’s book ‘The Shackleton Voyages’. This book weighs five pounds.
