G C L Bertram, 1987. Soft cover. Very Good/No Jacket. p/b 208 pages, condition is very good, minor edge wear. Signed inscription to the title page. Colin Bertram was born in 1911, schooled at Berkhamsted, entered St John's College, Cambridge, and gained Class I in Zoology. Then, after two summer Arctic Expeditions, he pursued coral reef research in the Red Sea before sailing to Antarctica with the British Graham Land Expedition 1934-37 as biologist in the three-masted schooner Penola. That was the only British Antarctic venture between the Wars, and marked the transition - from the heroic days to modern times. In three summers and two winters' the then supposed Antarctic Archipelago was, by dog sledge journeys on the sea ice, proved to be the Antarctic Peninsula. Returned Cambridge as a Research Student, working on his seal collections, the outbreak of War led into collaboration in the production of a handbook on cold weather equipment for the Army.
