Edward Wilson of the Antarctic
Author: George Seaver
Hard cover. Fair condition. 1st Australian Edition, 1946
Edward Wilson of the Antarctic by George Seaver is a biography of Edward Adrian Wilson, a British physician, naturalist, and artist who played a key role in early Antarctic exploration. The book details Wilson’s life, from his early years and medical career to his deep involvement in Captain Robert Falcon Scott’s expeditions, particularly the ill-fated Terra Nova Expedition (1910–1913), where he perished alongside Scott and others on their return from the South Pole. Seaver portrays Wilson as a dedicated scientist and devout Christian, whose artistic talent and deep love for nature enriched his contributions to both science and exploration. Through firsthand accounts and Wilson’s own writings, the book paints a vivid portrait of his character, endurance, and the tragic yet heroic final journey that cemented his legacy in Antarctic history.
