The Trans-Antarctic Expedition of 1953-58 organised by Sir Vivian Fuchs and Sir Edmund Hillary was one of the most successful exploits ever undertaken in Antarctica, but it has been largely forgotten for years. Seventy years later, this book is the first to tell the complete story of this remarkable episode in the history of exploration - illustrated with photographs from the Royal Geographical Society, with the permission of the wife of expedition photographer George Lowe.
