The work British Antarctic Expedition, 1910-13 by Charles Seymour Wright was worth GBP 23,750.00 (€ 27,469.40) to a buyer in September 2010. This price was achieved in the auction Exploration and Travel including the Polar Sale at Christies in London and exceeded the previously set upper estimate of GBP 6,000.00 many times over.
