  • Representations of Antarctic Exploration by Lesser Known Heroic Era Photographers
    Filtering ‘ways of seeing’ through their lenses: representations of Antarctic exploration by lesser known Heroic Era photographers. Patricia Margaret Millar B.A. (1972), B.Ed.

Patricia Margaret Millar Date ii Abstract Photographers made a major contribution to the recording of the Heroic Era of Antarctic exploration. By far the best known photographers were the professionals, Herbert Ponting and Frank Hurley, hired to photograph British and Australasian expeditions. But a great number of photographs were also taken on Belgian, German, Swedish, French, Norwegian and Japanese expeditions. These were taken by amateurs, sometimes designated official photographers, often scientists recording their research. Apart from a few Pole-reaching images from the Norwegian expedition, these lesser known expedition photographers and their work seldom feature in the scholarly literature on the Heroic Era, but they, too, have their importance. They played a vital role in the growing understanding and advancement of Antarctic science; they provided visual evidence of their nation’s determination to penetrate the polar unknown; and they played a formative role in public perceptions of Antarctic geopolitics.

  • Drilling to the Beds of the Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheets: a Review
    Annals of Glaciology 47 2007 1 Drilling to the beds of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets: a review Charles R. BENTLEY, Bruce R. KOCIy Ice Coring and Drilling Services, University of Wisconsin–Madison, 1225 West Dayton Street, Madison, WI 53706-1612, USA E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT. We give a review of drilling to the beds of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, with a history of just a century. We use a chronological rather than a geographical ordering to emphasize the way drilling has developed. The review is divided into two parts: core drilling and hole-only drilling for access to the beds or the deep interior of the ice sheets. This is an overview, not a comprehensive report on each project. While we have endeavoured to include all projects that fit our selection criteria, we have not provided all the technical details. INTRODUCTION Army Snow, Ice and Permafrost Research Establishment In this paper we give an historical review of drilling to, or (USA-SIPRE). In Greenland, two holes were cored, the first nearly to, the beds of the two polar ice sheets, with a history reaching a depth of 296 m on 27 August 1956, and the of just half a century. The focus on drilling that reached the second reaching a depth of 407 m in late boreal summer beds arose from a paper contributed to a workshop on of 1957. Subglacial Antarctic Lake Environments in Grenoble, France, Meanwhile, in 1956, a duplicate of the Failing rig was in April 2006. We expanded our coverage to Greenland, shipped to Antarctica, arriving in December at Little America because the drilling histories in Antarctica and Greenland are V, from where it was shipped to Byrd Station in October intimately intertwined.

La un mo- ment dat poetul povestește despre aventurile sale cu un neamț, translator. „Când eram tânăr scriitor invitat la Hei- delberg, prin anii '80, era acolo un neamţ care traducea din româneşte. La plecare, l-am salutat şi i-am spus «Hai, că ne mai vedem noi». Şi neamţul, când a auzit, a scos un carneţel şi a zis «Când?». Eu am izbucnit în râs şi i-am spus - «O să fie într-o marţi».” Și acum să trec la oile mele. Recent, poșta germană a emis o marcă poștală cu o tematică care intră în sfera mea de interes.
