"The owner of these volumes will possess an exact reproduction of the original "South Polar Times" which appeared month by month during the winters of 1902-3, produced as they were for the sole edification of our small company of explorers in the Discovery, then held fast in the Antarctic Ice." Thus begins Captain Scott's preface to the three volumes of short stories, essays, caricatures, and drawings edited by Shackleton, which became a major diversion for the men on board the Discovery during the long sunless winter from 23rd April until 21st August. Spence, 1094.
