I've decided to read Aurora Australis, 1908, the first book written and published in Antarctica, during the 1907-09 Nimrod Expedition of a 15 man shore party to the Antarctic, lead by Ernest Shackleton. The text is easily available free online through digitised copies or wikisource &c. I'm planning to read at a rate of one text from the anthology each week for ten weeks and y'all are welcome to join me (with weekly reminders and posts with invitation to mull over each text the following week). Introductory readalong post and reminder to read The Ascent of Mount Erubus [sic] is at my journal:
