Errors are few and of no consequence, involving proper geographic names. The map (p. 13) labels “Dais ” as “The Dias, ” consistently misspelled on three pages in the text. “Upper Wright Glacier ” on the map is called “Wright Upper Glacier ” on p. 93 (the latter is correct), and Mt. Cerberus is mistakenly spelled “Cerebus ” on p. 113 and 128. On p. 21, the author has the wrong year that Scott wintered at Hut Point Peninsula (1911 instead of 1901), which could be a simple typo. Wintering actually occurred on the expedition ship, not in the hut. I recommend this book for anyone who appreciates the beauty of wilderness areas and the photos that illustrate their attributes, or who collects books on the polar regions. This one should not be overlooked. The 100 or so color photos alone, all on high-quality paper, make it well worth the price (NZ$59.95 equates to about US$42 in mid-2004).
