I'm hosting a readalong of Aurora Australis, the first book written and published in Antarctica in 1908. This week is 1 / 10, The Ascent of Mount Erebus, and there's a post for comment, reaction, discussion, fanworks, links, and any related matters. People can join the readalong at any time or skip sections or go back to earlier posts. It's all good. :-)
