  • The Journal of the Royal Geographical Society 1927 December – Captain Roald Amundsen and the Society

    The Journal of the Royal Geographical Society 1927 December – Captain Roald Amundsen and the Society

    A very good copy of The Journal of the Royal Geographical Society, December 1927, containing an article which examines Captain Roald Amundsen relationship with the Society.

    The article is born from Amundsen’s published criticism of Lord Curzon who “toasted the dogs” which Amundsen took as a direct affront. What follows is an examination of correspondence between the Society and Amundsen regarding his accusation and his subsequent resignation as an Honorary Corresponding Member. A very interesting examination of the dialogue indeed.

    Also in this edition; a most excellent examination of the Great Barrier Reef of Australia, with accompanying charts, diagrams and log prepared by The Right Hon. Sir Matthew Nathan; an essay on climbs in the Canadian Rockies, with maps, diagrams and plates, of 1926 by Alfred J. Ostheimer; and, a detailed essay regarding Alexander’s campaign on the Indian North-West Frontier penned by Sir Aurel Stein.
