Footnotes

  • The story of the Shackleton-Rowett Expedition to the Antarctic (1921-23), and very much a memorial by Wild and other contributors to their leader, who died on the Quest in January 1922, while anchored at Grytviken, South Georgia Island. Generously illustrated, it includes the last photographs of Shackleton to be taken. Frank Wild served with Scott on the Discovery, with Mawson, and with Shackleton on all of his expeditions.
