Whaling in the Frozen South by Carl A. Larsen
The 1925 Ross Sea expedition led by Captain Larsen built a six-ship fleet to hunt blue whales. The narrative follows the voyage from Hobart through ice hazards to the whale hunts aboard small steamers with harpoons and swift hauling of blubber to the mother ship, detailing dangers, technique, and harsh working conditions.
