Mountevans was second on command on Scott's ill-fated 1910-1913 British Antarctic Expedition. Luckily due to a bout of scurvy during the expedition resulting in his removal to England to recuperate he did not suffer the fate of Scott and his party. He survived to recount the exploits, hardships and endurance, living through two Antarctic winters and the disappointment when they realized that the Norwegian, Amundsen, had made it to to the South Pole 34 days before them. .

About Ainsworth Books
Ainsworth Books was for many years a bricks and mortar store in Vancouver, BC. When we acquired the store, we moved to a location in Delta. After three years we moved the stock home and started operation as an online, by appointment only operation. I have worked with books my whole adult life and enjoy giving recommendations.
