José María Sobral

This is Jose Sobral’s first hand account of the Swedish Antarctic Expedition headed by Otto Nordenskjöld. Sobral was the first Argentine to set foot in Antarctica. He was an Argentine military scientist and is considered the father of the Argentine Antarctica. Sobral was asked to perform meteorological, biological and geological studies for the expedition. The Antarctic ship that was meant to return the crew back home was crushed by ice and sank, thus, the expedition spent an extra winter in the Antarctic stranded. The survivors were rescued a year later by the Argentine ship Uruguay. This is a spectacular story of Sobral’s perspective and observations during the expedition written in Spanish.
