First edition.
67pp, illustrated in colour and printed on art paper (Consort Royal Osprey Silk). Giant landscape format: A2 (42.5x60cms / 17x23.75ins), spiral bound within laminated plastic pictorial stiff covers. 'The research project was designed to make the first computer high resolution model of the circulation around the Antarctic. The project was called Fine Resolution Antarctic Model (hence FRAM). The name also recalled Amundsen using Nansen's old ice-strengthened ship [Fram, meaning 'Forward'] for his expedition to the South pole. On the way across the Southern Ocean he made oceanographic measurements that were used in our computer model.' (J.D.Woods). A small production fault has left a grey smudge to the lower corners of odd pages 1-9. Contents otherwise clean and unmarked.
