Antarctica: "...to a lonely land I know." recounts a young man's experience during the Golden Age of Antarctic exploration immediately following the end of WWII. Ken Pawson details life in the remote bases where he and his colleagues conducted surveys, explorations and gathered scientific data. Their means of transport were teams of Inuit Sled Dogs. Ken Pawson gives a compelling narrative often laced with humor. This is not the stuff of dramatic heroism. It is the story of ordinary life in extraordinary surroundings, of men and dogs doing the jobs they were assigned to do.

The book comprises detailed descriptions of its physique, temperament as well as a nutrition guide. Also documented is how this beautiful dog, indigenous to Canada, has survived for thousands of years in the harshest of climates, and yet was very nearly extinct a mere twenty years ago.
