| Summary: | Able Seaman William McDonald, my paternal grandfather, sailed on the Second and Third Voyages of the British Antarctic Expedition. He kept a diary of the Second Voyage, 1911-12, in which he recorded the progress of the Terra Nova as it battled the ice conditions in McMurdo Sound, re-supplying stores and equipment to the support and scientific parties of Captain Scott's Last Expedition. His brief notes of the first two months are complemented by relevant information to form a colourful picture of this role in polar exploration. |
