http://www.south-pole.com/homepage.html

Extractions: Welcome to the home page of South-Pole.com. This site is dedicated to the heroic explorers of our polar regions and the surrounding islands. The tales of these brave souls were often related in expedition mail sent home to anxious loved ones and beneficiaries. As you browse through this site, you will witness an extensive mix of reference material that will be useful to philatelists and students of polar history alike. For example, to the left you will notice a letter addressed to Capt. Nathaniel B. Palmer (1799-1877), who went to sea at the age of 14. At the age of 20, he played a major role as captain and part-owner of the HERO on the Fanning-Pendleton Sealing Expedition. The following season, as commander of the JAMES MONROE , he and British sealer George Powell together discovered the South Orkney Islands. While the history of Arctic adventure essentially begins with the nineteenth century quest for the Northwest Passage and North Pole, the early explorers to Antarctic seas made sojourns solely for commercial reasons, some of which, incidentally, made new discoveries. The majority of these voyages, along with the highest development of the whaling and sealing industry, came in the nineteenth century when operations took place in every ocean of the world. Many of the peri-Antarctic islands were discovered by sealers or whalers and the first landings on half of them were made by men engaged in the whale and penguin oil industry. A particular problem with many sealing voyages was the secrecy with which the industry was conducted; should a captain and crew discover a new sealing area, they normally concealed its location in the hope of having no competition when exploiting it on subsequent voyages. The early sealing industry declined as the population of Fur seals and Elephant seals were reduced to such an extent that the industry became virtually unprofitable.

AMONG THE MAGI RESEARCH TRACKS IN THE DESERT SNOW by Martin P. Sponholz. An online book about a scientist/explorer s adventure in antarctica.
http://205.174.118.254/nspt/home.htm

Extractions: Sunset at the South Pole [New South Polar Times] [South Pole Crew] [Special Feature] [Antarctic Exploration] ... [Among the Magi] The New South Polar Times is a newsletter written by the staff of the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, South Pole, Antarctica. Founded by Katie Wallet, of Spotsylvania County Schools, and Lt. Tom Jacobs NOAA's officer-in-charge at Amundsen-Scott, this Internet newsletter provides students and teachers around the world with information on Antarctica, the scientific research taking place there, and fun facts about life at the station. The title, The New South Polar Times , was suggested by Lt. Jacobs and named for the first newsletter to be written in the Antarctic, The South Polar Times . The South Polar Times was a newsletter for and by the men on Robert Scott's ship, The Discovery, written during Scott's first expedition to Antarctica, July 1901- September 1904. It was on his second expedition to the Antarctic that Scott lost the race to the South Pole to Roald Amundsen by just 34 days. The station at the South Pole is named for these two brave men. We hope you will find this newsletter a jumping off point for studying the fascinating continent of Antarctica. If you have any suggestions for this newsletter, please send them to

Extractions: T he shape of Antarctica and its relationship to the other continents is a mystery to many people. Likewise, the map below does not follow conventional cartography methods of placing "North" at the top of the map. Oddly, you need to travel south to reach the South Pole, but once there, no matter in which direction you leave, you will be heading north. As time permits, I will be adding individual detailed maps of the heroic expeditions of the past.

Extractions: I created this Historical Timeline of Antarctic Exploration for use as a handout for talks on Antarctic history. It was done somewhat hurriedly and I haven't got around to correcting a few of the errors that I know exist. Please feel free to comment or point out mistakes. It was created in Pagemaker at a size of 38 by 25 inches. The largest at which I've printed it out is 17 by 11 inches, just readable. It has been converted into an Adobe Acrobat document which will come up in your browser window when you click here Robert B. Stephenson This chronolgy was prepared by Robert K. Healand , Archivist and Curator, Scott Polar Research Institute. It appears here courtesy of Mr Headland and SPRI. Note: Only the Antarctic portion is included here. The following Antarctic and Arctic lists give explorations, in chronological order, towards the South Pole and North Pole, their attainment (air and surface, and by sea in the Arctic), and the first crossings of the regions. There are several claims included which are unverified and extremely doubtful, although some of these pretensions have been well publicised.

http://www.naa.gov.au/Publications/fact_sheets/fs194.html

Extractions: Australia has been involved in Antarctic exploration since 1911, through Sir Douglas Mawson and the Australian Antarctic Expedition, followed by the British-Australia-New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE) from 1929 to 1931. The Australian Antarctic Territory was formally proclaimed by Mawson aboard the Discovery in Antarctic waters on 7 February 1933. The consequent Australian Antarctic Territory Acceptance Act 1933 came into effect from 24 August 1936. In 1947 the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) established sub-Antarctic stations at Macquarie and Heard Islands and at Mawson on the Antarctic continent. Research by ANARE into areas such as Antarctic climate and weather and the depth of the ice shelf had been occurring since 1947. The International Geophysical Year (IGY) of 1957 provided a year of combined research effort on Antarctica, and the background to the Antarctic treaty of 1959, which was to maintain international cooperation and peaceful research on the continent. The treaty provided for complete freedom of scientific research in Antarctica, for conservation of wildlife and the prohibition of military activity, nuclear testing and disposal of radioactive waste. Antarctic cooperative research includes studies in biology, botany, seismology, meteorology, upper atmosphere physics, magnetology, cosmic radiation, oceanography and glaciology. Other areas of research include tide gauge operations, radio echo-sounding to determine ice thickness, and global climate and environment change.

http://www.cftech.com/BrainBank/TRIVIABITS/AntarcticExplor.html

Extractions: For almost two centuries, the South Pole drew armadas of explorer's and exploiters down to the far latitudes in search of Antarctica. But the land guarded itself against detection with rough seas that shot waves a hundred feet high, frost mists that obscured visibility and icebergs patrolling the waters. Who dared to enter these waters? The first forays carried the curious and the adventurous, but the abundant wildlife soon brought the hunters and traders. The fur seals of the Antarctic and the elephant seals of the South Georgia, South Sandwich and other islands, near the Convergence were all but exterminated for their skins and blubber. According to estimates made by the Antarctic explorer James Weddell, 320,000 sealskins and 940 tons of elephant seal oil were taken at the South Shetlands in just two seasons.

Extractions: The Exploration of the Sixth Continent The Antarctic wastes have long held a fascination for man. This sixth continent was the last to be explored and its exploration and demystification formed the stuff of legend. The tragic story of Robert Falcon Scott and the British National Antarctic Expedition of 1910-12 is known throughout the world. The Erskine Press has published a series of books dealing with the HEROIC AGE OF ANTARCTIC EXPLORATION. Some of these books are now out of print but the following are still available and fall into three distinct categories - Diaries, Facsimiles and Translations, plus Miscellanea All the books are copiously illustrated with photographs, line drawings and maps. They are all hardback and cloth bound. The Diaries have pictorial jackets in two colours and are blocked in gold on the spines. The Translations and Facsimiles are cased in accurate reproductions of the originals and blocked in gold, silver or white on front and spine accordingly.
