  • Brilliant Ideas to Get Your Students Thinking Creatively About Polar
    FOCUS ON SHACKLETON Brilliant ideas to get your students thinking creatively about polar exploration, with links across a wide range of subjects including maths, art, geography, science and literacy. WHAT? WHERE? WHEN? WHO? AURORA AUSTRALIS This book was made in the Antarctic by Shackleton’s men during the winter of 1908. It contains poems, accounts, stories, pictures and entertainment all written by the men during the 1907-09 Nimrod expedition. The copy in our archive has a cover made from pieces of packing crates. The book is stitched with green silk cord thread and held together with a spine made from seal skin. The title and the penguin stamp were glued on afterwards. DID YOU KNOW? To entertain the men during the long, cold winter months of the Nimrod Expedition, Shackleton packed a printing press. Before the expedition set off Ernest Joyce and Frank Wild received training in typesetting and printing. In the hut at Cape Royds the men wrote and practised their printing techniques. All through the winter different men wrote pieces for the book. The expedition artist, George Marston, produced the illustrations. Bernard Day constructed the book using packing crates that had stored butter. This was the first book to be published in the Antarctic.

  • Public Information Leaflet HISTORY.Indd
    British Antarctic Survey History The United Kingdom has a long and distinguished record of scientific exploration in Antarctica. Before the creation of the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), there were many surveying and scientific expeditions that laid the foundations for modern polar science. These ranged from Captain Cook’s naval voyages of the 18th century, to the famous expeditions led by Scott and Shackleton, to a secret wartime operation to secure British interests in Antarctica. Today, BAS is a world leader in polar science, maintaining the UK’s long history of Antarctic discovery and scientific endeavour. The early years Britain’s interests in Antarctica started with the first circumnavigation of the Antarctic continent by Captain James Cook during his voyage of 1772-75. Cook sailed his two ships, HMS Resolution and HMS Adventure, into the pack ice reaching as far as 71°10' south and crossing the Antarctic Circle for the first time. He discovered South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands although he did not set eyes on the Antarctic continent itself. His reports of fur seals led many sealers from Britain and the United States to head to the Antarctic to begin a long and unsustainable exploitation of the Southern Ocean. Image: Unloading cargo for the construction of ‘Base A’ on Goudier Island, Antarctic Peninsula (1944). During the late 18th and early 19th centuries, interest in Antarctica was largely focused on the exploitation of its surrounding waters by sealers and whalers. The discovery of the South Shetland Islands is attributed to Captain William Smith who was blown off course when sailing around Cape Horn in 1819.

  • Hubert Wilkins Naturalist to Shackleton
    Hubert Wilkins, Naturalist on the Shackleton-Rowett Expedition, 1921-22. By Richard A. Hindle. Introduction. Hubert Wilkins went on two expeditions as a naturalist, the first was on the Shackleton-Rowett Expedition 1921-22 on the Quest with Sir Ernest Shackleton. For his second expedition he was employed by the Natural History Museum in London, which will be dealt with in another article. Please note that since Hubert Wilkins’ visit some of the bird names and taxonomy have changed. The current species names have been used. The Shackleton-Rowett Expedition, 1921-22. Ernest Shackleton (Fig. 1) had a major in the Army and had been posted to Russia1. After the war he was planning an Arctic expedition, but a major sponsor, the Canadian Government, withdrew their support. John Quiller Rowett, a school friend came to the rescue and decided to sponsor the expedition. It was now too late to go north, so he returned to the Antarctic with a scientific expedition to South Georgia and adjacent islands, returning by Tristan da Cunha (Fig. 2). Fig. 3. The Quest Fig. 1. Ernest Shackleton at South Georgia. Fig. 2. The route in Army uniform. of the Quest. Shackleton managed to persuade seven members of his ill-fated Endurance Expedition2 to join him. He also recruited Wilkins as naturalist for the expedition. He had returned from Montevideo having spent only the first year on the British Imperial Antarctic Expedition3, 1920-22. The ship chosen was the former Norwegian sealer Foca I, 125 tons. Lady Shackleton suggested the new name of Quest (Fig. 3).
