41. Early Explorers In Antarctica
    Virtual Tours. Early Explorers Of antarctica. Weddell’s crossing of the Weddell Sea, in 1823, marks the end of the first stage of Antarctic exploration.

    Extractions: Virtual Tours Early Explorers Of Antarctica Although the Ancient Greeks had believed that there was land to the far South, they had absolutely no proof of it. The very first proof came in January 1773 . At that time, Sir James Cook , a British explorer, crossed the Antarctic Circle. His expedition did not see land, but they did see rocks in some of the icebergs they passed. The presence of the rocks meant that there must be land. He sailed his ship right around Antarctica but could not get close enough to spot land. Massive sheets of ice prevented him from getting any closer. Following James Cook more and more explorers ventured into the Antarctic Circle. Antarctica wasn’t going to be easy to discover, though. It took almost another 50 years before anyone actually spotted land.

    Compare prices on antarctica exploration, Perception and Metaphor by Paul SimpsonHousley. antarctica exploration, Perception and Metaphor.  
    http://www.allbookstores.com/book/0415082250
    
    Extractions: Antarctica traces images of the continent from early invented maps up to Roald Amundsen's arrival. Paul Simpson-Housley approaches Antarctica from the perspective of both sea and land explorers, describing their differing perceptions as created by error and desire. Explorers returned with images of both beauty and terror. Simpson-Housley analyzes their writings in diaries, books and poetry. Developing this theme, and focusing on the realist paintings of Edward Wilson and the symbolic poetry of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, he discusses how artistic images were created from first-hand experience of the landscape, as well as contemporary reports and literature.

44. Antarctica Articles
    In 1991, 24 nations signed a protocol to the 1959 treaty barring for 50 years the exploration of antarctica for oil or minerals.  
    http://www.crystalinks.com/antarctica.html
    
    Extractions: Antarctica is the fifth largest continent, c.5,500,000 sq mi (14,245,000 sq km), asymmetrically centered on the South Pole and almost entirely within the Antarctic Circle. Antarctica consists of two major regions: W Antarctica (c.2,500,000 sq mi/6,475,000 sq km), a mountainous archipelago that includes the Antarctic Peninsula , and E Antarctica (c.3,000,000 sq mi/7,770,000 sq km), geologically a continental shield. They are joined into a single continental mass by an ice sheet thousands of feet thick. At the seaward margins of the ice sheet masses of ice break off and float away as icebergs, leaving ice cliffs. Where the outward creep of the ice is channeled into ice streams (zones of more rapid flow), great floating ice tongues project into the sea; where mountains retard outward movement, the flow is channeled into great valley glaciers. Less than 5% of Antarctica is free of ice; these areas include mountain peaks, small coastal areas, and islands. Except for mountain ranges (some buried beneath the ice), much of E Antarctica's rock surface is near sea level; however, the continent's domed, snow-covered glacial surface rises to about 13,000 ft (4,000 m). In W Antarctica there is great variation in the subglacial relief, suggesting mountainous islands or submerged ranges separated by deep sounds beneath the ice cover. Since the 1970s lakes of liquid water have been found underneath the continental ice; the largest known of these is Lake Vostok (174 mi by 36 mi/280 km by 60 km; 1600 ft/500 m deep), which lies 2.5 mi (4 km) beneath the Russian Vostok research station in E Antarctica.

    Extractions: This section is still UNDER CONSTRUCTION!!! In the future it will contain additional climbing and climbing- related resources, and might evolve into a repository of Antarctica-related mountaineering information. For the moment, all you get are a few links to other climbing sites, which you probably already know about (but then again, maybe not!), some common and ordinary climbing photos, and some general comments on Antarctica and mountaineering. More will follow. Send your electronic comments to me at redfield@halcyon.com... While Antarctica has about 2 percent exposure and 98 percent ice cover, the little bit of rock that does stick through is pretty impressive. The Transantarctic Mountains (TAM) run almost 3000 kilometers and in places approach 4000 meters elevation. Much of the range has a steep escarpment, often 2000 meters high. The TAM bifurcate into two wings, one wing being swallowed under the East Antarctic icecap but the other surging up into the Sentinal Range of the Ellsworth Mountains, home of Vinson Massif, Tyree, and several other 5000 meter giants. The map shows the TAM exclusive of the Sentinal Range (when I get this more together there will be a bigger, better, colored map!) and the

In February 1999, the Hanseatic struck its starboard propeller in Paradise Bay and had to return to Ushuaia using just one propeller. The orange huts of an Argentine research station could be seen on Waterboat Point near the mouth of the Harbor. We crossed the Gerlache Strait and rounded the north end of Wiencke Island. The ship entered the Neumayer Channel, between Wiencke Island and Anvers Island. We passed a Chilean research station, which has been reoccupied after a period of abandonment. Gentoo Penguins took over the island during the period of abandonment, and the current rules of behavior in Antarctica don't permit the Chileans to clear them out again. We saw the last of the sun as the ship negotiated through the winding narrows of the Neumayer Channel. A low overcast hung over the cold, bleak landscape. We exited Neumayer Channel and entered the Bismark Strait.

53. COSMOTIC ORDER, Chicago Chapter
    During the height of European exploration, antarctica was surmised but funds for exploration were not readily available for a conjecture.  
    http://www.kittyspit.net/blackskywhitesea/text/antarctica.htm
    
    Extractions: Appropriate legends were constructed to prevent an inflammation of public curiosity. Stories of successful adventures to the South Pole boosted public morale back home, regardless of the fact that only the ice shelves and coastal islands had been colonized (and there are more islands than the maps attest). Utility supercedes validity. Since civilization has laid its siege around the Antarctic borders, and a stasis has been maintained. Why, then, publish the truth? Simply because the time is ripe for Cosmotic consciousness and a world-wide spiritual evolution via Cosmotic Appreciation and Reintegration. It is time the world understood that the Earth is touched by the Cold hand of the Cosmos, and not by a parental sun.

Palmer (USA) and with Baron von Bellingshausen (USSR), who saw the Antarctic peninsula through their telescopes at the same time. From then on, only one group of people was to interest itself in Antarctica - whalers and seal hunters. The animal population of the northern hemisphere had been exhausted; they were looking for fresh fields. The explorers took a back seat.
