In the summer of 1958, physicist Colin Bull, along with a biologist and two undergraduate geology students from Victoria University of Wellington, launched an exploration of the Dry Valleys of Victoria Land, Antarctica—, the first of what has become an annual expedition spanning the past fifty years. With "Innocents in Dry Valleys" Bull recounts the story of that first, shoestring expedition, bringing a dry wit—, and a clear appreciation of youthful bravado—, to accounts of adverse conditions, recurrent dangers, funding snafus, and bureaucratic meddling. "Innocents in Dry Valleys" is a winning account of a landmark expedition, sure to interest scientists and armchair explorers alike.
