  • The Scott Polar Research Institute Was Established
    THESCOTT POLAR RESEARCH INSTITUTE G. C. L. Bertram* UST forty years have passed since Captain Robert Falcon Scott and his four J companions died while returning from the South Pole. The journey and end of these men is a story which has probably stirred Britons more than any other peacetime event in centuries. They rallied nobly to Scott’s last appeal to “see that those who are dependent on us are properly provided for”, and theCaptain Scott Memorial Mansion HouseFund soon reached a total of A;76,500 for disposal by its trustees. When the Mansion House Fund had fulfilled its dual task of providing for dependents and of publishing the scientific reports, there still remained a sum of 13,000 set aside as a “PolarResearch Fund’’. It was at thistime, in the early ’twenties, that Frank Debenham, later Professor of Geography in the University of Cambridge, put forward proposals which sprang from discussions towards the end of 1912 with two other members of the Antarctic Expedition: Raymond Priestley, until recently Vice-Chancellor of Birmingham University, and Charles Wright, who later became Chief of the Royal Naval Scientific Service. Debenham showed convincingly that often the hard-won experience of polar expeditions in the past had been lost when their members dispersed, and that the techniques of life and travel in cold regions had been inadequately ‘Director, Scott Polar Research Institute, Cambridge, England. 153 154 THERESEARCHPOLAR SCOTT INSTITUTE recorded.Each expedition had had to learn these techniquesanew, rarely profiting from the experience of others,and in this way valuable time and even lives had been lost.

It defended the forced labor of non-Europeans, and the practice of discrimination and segregation in colonial and dominion regimes. On the other hand, there were new signs of resistance. The Universal Races Congress of 1912 rejected papers from A. C. Haddon and other anthropologists because their discipline failed to meet the organizers’ ethical test of human equality. In 1910, Sir Harry Johnston, a colonial administrator and a member of the Anthropological Institute, warned of the “Rise of the Native” in the form of a colonial bourgeoisie of color. Colonial nationalism would only grow in strength when war forced changes in the science and politics of empire.

  • Ernest Shackleton and the Epic Voyage of the Endurance
    9-803-127 REV: DECEMBER 2, 2010 NANCY F. KOEHN Leadership in Crisis: Ernest Shackleton and the Epic Voyage of the Endurance For scientific discovery give me Scott; for speed and efficiency of travel give me Amundsen; but when disaster strikes and all hope is gone, get down on your knees and pray for Shackleton. — Sir Raymond Priestley, Antarctic Explorer and Geologist On January 18, 1915, the ship Endurance, carrying a highly celebrated British polar expedition, froze into the icy waters off the coast of Antarctica. The leader of the expedition, Sir Ernest Shackleton, had planned to sail his boat to the coast through the Weddell Sea, which bounded Antarctica to the north, and then march a crew of six men, supported by dogs and sledges, to the Ross Sea on the opposite side of the continent (see Exhibit 1).1 Deep in the southern hemisphere, it was early in the summer, and the Endurance was within sight of land, so Shackleton still had reason to anticipate reaching shore. The ice, however, was unusually thick for the ship’s latitude, and an unexpected southern wind froze it solid around the ship. Within hours the Endurance was completely beset, a wooden island in a sea of ice. More than eight months later, the ice still held the vessel. Instead of melting and allowing the crew to proceed on its mission, the ice, moving with ocean currents, had carried the boat over 670 miles north.2 As it moved, the ice slowly began to soften, and the tremendous force of distant currents alternately broke apart the floes—wide plateaus made of thousands of tons of ice—and pressed them back together, creating rift lines with huge piles of broken ice slabs.
