This is a personal account of a voyage in February 1967 between New Zealand and McMurdo Sound, Antarctica aboard the New Zealand Navy supply ship HMNZS Endeavour. The author was one of three physicists from Victoria University of Wellington who towed a magnetometer behind the ship to gather early information about the mid-ocean ridge which continues to drive New Zealand apart from Antarctica. The book contains photos and memories of the ship's voyage, of the US McMurdo Station and of the NZ Scott Base.

Ever since Captain Cook first sailed into the Great Southern Ocean in 1773, mankind has sought to push back the boundaries of Antarctic exploration. The first expeditions tried simply to chart Antarctica's coastline, but then the Sixth International Geographical Congress of 1895 posed a greater challenge: the conquest of the continent itself. Though the loss of Captain Scott's Polar Party remains the most famous, many of the resulting expeditions suffered fatalities. Some men drowned; others fell into bottomless crevasses; many died in catastrophic fires; a few went mad; and yet more froze to death. Modern technology increased the pace of exploration, but aircraft and motor vehicles introduced entirely new dangers. For the first time, Icy Graves uses the tragic tales not only of famous explorers like Robert Falcon Scott and Aeneas Mackintosh but also of many lesser-known figures, both British and international, to plot the forward progress of Antarctic exploration. It tells, often in their own words, the compelling stories of the brave men and women who have fallen in what Sir Ernest Shackleton called the 'White Warfare of the South'.
