Six Months in Ascension is a book written by Isobel Black Gill in 1878. It is an account of her experiences during a scientific expedition to Ascension Island, a small volcanic island in the South Atlantic Ocean. The book provides a detailed description of the island's geography, flora, and fauna, as well as the daily life of the expedition members. Gill also includes personal anecdotes and reflections on the challenges and rewards of living in such a remote and isolated environment. The book is considered an important historical document, providing insights into the scientific explorations of the late 19th century and the colonial attitudes of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
