That was marvellous. A forgotten, hilarious tale of intrepid and incompetent explorers that only seems to have come back into print because Bill Bryson has been championing it ever since picking up a forgotten copy. It's on a par with Three Men in a Boat with which it shares many similarities. Just very very funny, and apparently beloved of polar scientists, so I need to check with Helen's uncle Ray if he is familiar with it.
