Hardcover. First Edition. Wide Quarto, 10 x 12 in., pp. 128. Illustrated with color plates by Wally Herbert. Dark blue cloth boards with silver polar bear to cover and silver title to spine. Light rubbing to extremities. One inch crease to front dustjacket flap. Watercolor, pencil and oil artwork by the master of painting polar…scenes. This book presents a broad collection of Sir Wally's paintings, together with personal anecdotes of his experiences in the Polar World. Sir Walter William Herbert (1934 - 2007) was a British polar explorer, writer and artist. In 1969 he became the first man fully recognized for walking to the North Pole, on the 60th anniversary of Robert Peary's disputed expedition. With the help of fellow explorers, dogs, and air drops. Herbert chose to cross the frozen Arctic across its longest axis that crosses the North Pole, from Utqiagvik (Barrow) to Svalbard. In his 2007 obituary, The Telegraph called his expedition "a 15-month journey of 3,720 miles that has never been repeated. "He was described by Sir Ranulph Fiennes as "the greatest polar explorer of our time". During the course of his polar career, which spanned more than 50 years, he spent 15 years in the wilderness regions of the polar world. He travelled with dog teams and open boats well over 23,000 miles - more than half of that distance through unexplored areas. Among his several books, which he illustrated, were works dealing with polar exploration. He also had solo exhibitions of his drawings and paintings. In 2000 he was knighted for his polar achievements. Very Good Plus / Very Good Plus. Wally Herbert (illustrator).
