The Boy's Book Of Exploration Edited by Sir Edmund Hillary. Ref: B6073

Title: The Boy's Book Of Exploration.
Author/Editor: Various.
Edited by: Sir Edmund Hillary.
Description: Here are twelve accounts of modern explorers to excite every adventurous boy. Each of these stories is a firsthand account by a man who has set out for the unknown to discover for himself what lies beyond the limits of anyone's previous experience, a man fired with a spirit of adventure strong enough to carry him through every conceivable hazard.
Sir Edmund Hillary tells the story of the final ascent of Everest; and Tenzing, who was with him in that great conquest, writes of his own previous attempt.
Ralph Izzard, who was with the Everest expedition, went back a year later to try to track down the 'Yeti' or 'Abominable Snowman' and tells of his pursuit of that incredible creature.
In this book also is Anthony Phair's expedition in search of the treasure of the Incas in Peru; an account by Evans of the Broke of Admiral Byrd's flight over the South Pole, and the story of the lost mines of Muribeca, which led Colonel Fawcett to his search for the cities of the Incas.
Here is Norbert Casteret's record of his descent into the deepest chasm known to man, and Captain Cousteau's description of his first aqualung dive to prove that man can swim unencumbered in the depths of the sea.
This book ranges from the white desert of the Antarctic to the jungles of the Amazon, from below the sea to the highest mountains, from subterranean caverns to outer space. It is a book to thrill and to inspire the generation which follows today's explorers.
