The Great Southern Alone

January 2, 2011 by Steve Mentz Leave a Comment

Another great read snuck into this newly created before-MLA time.  In the Heart of the Great Alone, a book of photographs about two early twentieth-century southern Antarctic expeditions by Scott and Shackelton, was last year’s Christmas gift to me from Alinor.  She knows me well.  Hard to believe it’s taken me all year to read deeply in this beautiful book.
