Aurora Australis (book)

Aurora Australis is a book comprising stories and poems written by the members of the Nimrod Expedition to Antarctica led by Ernest Shackleton from 1908 until 1909. It was also illustrated, printed, and bound on location at their polar base, the first book to have been so produced in the Antarctic. Apart from Shackleton, other contributors to the book included geologist T. W. Edgeworth David, artist George Marston, biologist James Murray, and geologist Douglas Mawson.
