Notes & Condition: This is a fascinating expedition report published the same year as his all-important book, titled; Sledge: The British Trans-Greenland Expedition. First reveal of this dramatic account, profusely illustrated, including a large fold out colour map, a distance log and a panoramic photographic plate. Replete with interesting details on the preparation of the expedition and its daily routine, it remains a lively account written in a direct style, of one of the longest self-supporting dog-sledge expeditions. In 1934 Martin Lindsay, gold medallist of the French Geographical Society, and his gallant party of three men made a record Arctic journey of 1,200 miles, traversing without injury, the Greenland ice-cap, and eventually after many trials and tribulations, reaching the coast at the end of 103 days of sledging, with two and a half days of food left in hand.
