U.S. NAVY EXPEDITIONS . _ ,. „ . National Geographic Society Washington 6, D. C. Immediate Release Washington — The National Geographic Society's highest honor for exploration has "been bestowed on Sir Vivian Fuchs, the Briton who made history's first overland crossing of Antarctica, and on the American naval heroes of that frozen continent. President Eisenhower presented Hubbard Medals to the leader of the British Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition of 1955-58 and to the United States Navy's Antarctic Expeditions of 1955-59 in ceremonies February 4- at the White House. Sir Vivian flew from London with Lady Fuchs especially to receive the gold medal and to address the Society's capital area members in Constitution Hall. First Awarded to Peary The Hubbard Medal is one of geography's foremost awards. It has been presented only 17 times heretofore, having been inaugurated in 1906 to honor Admiral Robert E. Peary for his Arctic explorations. The newly struck medals complement each other: one honors Sir Vivian for achieving what Sir Ernest Shackleton called "the last great Polar journey that can be made"; the other recognizes the more than 10,000 Navy personnel who built and manned outposts of civilization from which the unknown continent has now been surveyed. At the White House ceremony, Dr. Melville Bell Grosvenor, president and editor of National Geographic, cited not only the valor involved in the British and American undertakings, but their unique contributions to geography and exploration. 10,279-McD, R (MORE) 2-4-59 HUBBARD MEDAL (PAGE TWO) Guests at the presentation included Lady Fuchs; Sir Harold Caccia, the British Ambassador to the United States; and other officials of the British Embassy, Navy Department, and National Geographic. The Navy's medal was accepted by Navy Secretary Thomag S. Gates,^/Z Jr. Gold replicas were struck for Admirals Arleigh A. Burke, Chief of Naval Operations, and George J. Dufek, who took command of the Navy's antarctic activities after the death of Admiral Richard E. Byrd in March, 1957. Trek of 2.158 Miles The Fuchs medal bears the inscription: "Awarded to Sir Vivian Fuchs for brilliant leadership of the British Trans-Antarc tic Expedition 1955-58 and for his extraordinary contributions to geographic knowledge of Antarctica." Sir Vivian and his party risked their lives to conquer the last untraversed continent in a sea-to-sea trek of 2,158 miles across the South Pole. Two years of preparation were needed. The actual journey from Weddell Sea to McMurdo Sound in Ross Sea took 99 calendar days. Food and fuel depots for the crossing were set up by a reconnoitering party led by the famed New Zealand explorer, Sir Edmund Hillary. His group also charted areas unknown to cartographers. The 12-man Fuchs team encountered appalling ice conditions and snow-hidden caverns that threatened to swallow the heavy Sno-Cats and Weasels. On one occasion a mysterious infection swept the caravan. Amid the most severe hardships, the explorers, at regular intervals, made seismic shots and took meteorological and gravity observations to amass a wealth of scientific data about Antarctica. (MORE) HUBBARD MEDAL (PAGE THREE) Cooperation between the Britons and the Navy was close. The Fuchs team was 200 miles beyond the South Pole when one man was found nearly dead in his Sno-Cat from carbon-monoxide poisoning. A distress signal was flashed. The Navy's air station at McMurdo Sound swiftly dispatched two planes on an emergency night flight with bottles of oxygen. On one plane was a specialist in monoxide poisoning. Medical skill and oxygen soon had the explorers on their way. They arrived at McMurdo Sound on March 2, 1958—three minutes ahead of schedule. The Navy's medal is inscribed: "Awarded to the U.S. Navy Antarctic Expeditions 1955-59 for outstanding service to science in exploring vast South Polar regions and establishing scientific stations for the International Geophysical Year." Navy's All-out Assault In preparing for IGY, the Navy mounted a massive, all-out assault on Antarctica, employing thousands of men with unprecedented logistic support. It is continuing its researches there. The great engineering triumph of Operation Deep Freeze I, II, and III was the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, built, supplied, and maintained by airlift„ Nine Navy technicians were among the band of 18 Americans who spent man's first winter at the South Pole. National Geographic's Hubbard Medal is conferred by its Board of Trustees and is traditionally presented by the United States President. The medal commemorates Gardiner Greene Hubbard, a founder of the Society and its first president. # # # .

  • Jane Goodall
    Jane Goodall Dame Jane Morris Goodall, DBE (born Valerie Jane Morris-Goodall on 3 April 1934) is a British primatologist, ethologist, anthropologist, and UN Messenger of Peace.Considered to be the world's foremost expert on chimpanzees, Goodall is best known for her 45-year study of social and family interactions of wild chimpanzees in Gombe Stream National Park, Tanzania. She is the founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and the Roots & Shoots program, and she has worked extensively on conservation and animal welfare issues. She has served on the board of the Nonhuman Rights Project since its founding in 1996. Early years Jane Goodall was born in London, England, in 1934 to Mortimer Herbert Morris-Goodall, a businessman, and Margaret Myfanwe Joseph, a novelist who wrote under the name Vanne Morris-Goodall. As a child, she was given a lifelike chimpanzee toy named Jubilee by her father; her fondness for the toy started her early love of animals. Today, the toy still sits on her dresser in London. As she writes in her book, Reason for Hope: "My mother's friends were horrified by this toy, thinking it would frighten me and give me nightmares." Goodall has a sister, Judith, who shares the same birthday, though the two were born four years apart. Africa Goodall had always been passionate about animals and Africa, which brought her to the farm of a friend in the Kenya highlands in 1957.From there, she obtained work as a secretary, and acting on her friend's advice, she telephoned Louis Leakey, a Kenyan archaeologist and palaeontologist, with no other thought than to make an appointment to discuss animals.

  • Anne Morrow Lindbergh Was Critical to the Success of Charles’ Flights
    CountHerHistory November 2009 AAUW-Illinois by Barbara Joan Zeitz Wife/Copilot: Anne Morrow Lindbergh was critical to the success of Charles’ flights. She was his radio operator, navigator, and copilot. After his New York to Paris solo flight, May 1927, Lucky Lindy had his choice of copilots. He chose Anne. They met that December when he flew the Spirit of St. Louis to Mexico at the invitation of US Ambassador, Dwight Morrow, Anne’s father. Charles was ready to move on from stunt flying, barnstorming, and competitive racing to serious flight explorations and he wanted to marry. And he wanted to marry a healthy woman who liked flying because he wanted his wife to be his flying companion on expeditions he planned to make. He set his sites on Anne whom he invited to go flying. If all went well in the air as he planned - well. He let her experience the controls and logged in fifty-five minutes as her first flight training. When she told him that night that she wanted to learn to fly, he smiled. They married in May 1929, honeymooned alone-together for three weeks roughing it on a thirty-eight-foot motorboat eating canned goods and drinking ginger ale. The honeymoon Charles planned previewed the couple’s flight adventures to come and provided a peek at his wife in such a situation, a situation Anne enjoyed quiet well. He began her formal flight training immediately with flight aerobatics and landings, pitch angles, bank angles, navigation, calculating arrival based on ground speed, etc. The following year she would fly more than 30,000 miles.

  • Jane Goodall Bio - Standard Length Version
    Jane Goodall Bio - Standard Length Version Jane Goodall, Ph.D., DBE Founder, the Jane Goodall Institute UN Messenger of Peace Jane Goodall was born on April 3, 1934, in London, England. From earliest childhood, she was fascinated by animals and the Africa she discovered in the storybooks of Tarzan and Dr. Doolittle. In 1957, she traveled to the Kenyan farm of a friend's parents and met the famed anthropologist and paleontologist Dr. Louis Leakey. In 1960, at his invitation, she began her landmark study of chimpanzee behavior in what is now Tanzania. Her field research at what was then called Gombe Stream Chimpanzee Reserve-most notably, her discovery that chimpanzees make and use tools-revolutionized the world of primatology and redefined the relationship between humans and animals. In 1977, Dr. Goodall established the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) to advance her vision and work around the world and for generations to come. JGI continues the work at Gombe Stream Research Center and is a global leader in the effort to protect chimpanzees and their habitats. It is widely recognized for building on Dr. Goodall's groundbreaking community-centered approach to conservation and development programs in Africa, and for Roots & Shoots, the global environmental and humanitarian youth program. Dr. Goodall founded Roots & Shoots in 1991 with a group of Tanzanian students. The youth program connects more than 150,000 young people in more than 50 countries, equipping them to take action to make the world a better place for people, animals and the environment. Today, she travels an average 300 days per year, speaking about the threats facing chimpanzees, other environmental crises, and her reasons for hope.
