Footnotes
The official accounts of the first two French Antarctic expeditions, both led by Charcot who after the first "returned to a hero's welcome. The expedition had lost not a single life, almost a thousand miles of coast had been charted, and the first accurate map of western archipelago of Graham Land had been compiled" (Howgego). Both accounts are extensively illustrated, and of the photography in the second Taurus notes that "is far superior to any previous effort in the Antarctic".
