Synopsis
Excerpt from The Geographical Journal, Vol. 20: Including the Proceedings of the Royal Geographical Society; July to December, 1902
The Antarctic Expedition was fully and completely equipped for the important service on which it is employed, and nothing that could be thought of was omitted in the outfit, whether as regards scientific instruments and appliances, or the comfort and health of the explorers. The Discovery finally sailed from Port Chalmers, in New Zealand, on December 24, 1901, and is now wintering somewhere within the antarctic circle.
We cannot hope to receive any news of our friends until the spring of 1903, but we can make some attempt at a forecast of their proceedings. I drew up the draft of the Instructions for the Expedition in 1897, and made a few additions to the draft in January, 1901. These Instructions were revised by a select committee in April, 1901, but no material alterations were made. They were signed by the Presidents of the two societies, and I gave them to Captain Scott on August 3, 1901.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book details the history and mission of the Royal Geographical Society, a British institution dedicated to the advancement of geographical knowledge and exploration, from its founding in 1830 to the dawn of the twentieth century.
