    Polar Record 46 (237): 191–192 (2010). c Cambridge University Press 2009. doi:10.1017/S0032247409990179 191 Obituary Edith Anna Maslin (Jackie) Ronne (Fig. 1) died on 14 June 2009. ‘I started off for a year’s stay on the Antarctic continent with one small suitcase which contained mainly a good suit, a good dress, nylon stockings and high heel shoes – clothes about as suitable as Eskimo furs would be on a South Sea island, but I had the excuse that I didn’t know I was going...’(Jackie Ronne). The story that followed was one which forever changed the nature of Antarctic exploration and made legend the life of Jackie Ronne. Edith Anna Maslin was born on 13 October 1919 to Charles Jackson Maslin and his wife Elizabeth. She was raised in the suburban decorum of a conservative Baltimore family but always felt that her destiny would be ‘a little bit different’, spinning around the lamp post outside of the house, wondering what it could be. She acquired her nickname of ‘Jackie’ during a girl scout summer camp, the girls replacing the end of their father’s names with ‘ie’ to form the diminutive. Edith used her father’s middle name and ‘Jackie’ she became. The nickname finally stuck during her University years and as Jackie she was known for ever afterwards, to those who knew and loved her. She graduated in 1940 with a degree in history from George Washington University in Washington DC, ending Fig. 1. Jackie Ronne. up working in the State Department. Jackie met Finn Ronne (1899–1980) on a blind date in 1942.

BS: I've found most of the people in the polar business, whether they know you or not, talk about Jackie Ronne. Nobody ever says Edith Ronne. And it's kind of a . almost in awe, or almost in . well, you've got a reputation of being one of the friendliest, outgoing people in the business. JR: Heavens, that's news to me and good news, as a matter of fact. Made my day. BS: Well, good. I hope you feel good. I hope we're going to have a good day here.

JR: Of course, Jenny Darlington was also along.
