EXECUTIVE SUMMARY GRYTVIKEN WHALING STATION SUMMARY HISTORY Grytviken experienced another period of stagnation in terms of investment in Grytviken Whaling Station is an internationally significant site as the first Grytviken was used for sealing in the nineteenth century and was rediscovered the site during the 1940s, which was followed in the late 1950s by a substantial shore-based whaling station constructed for Antarctic whaling in the modern by the Swedish Scientific Antarctic Expedition at the beginning of the twentieth period of investment to modernise and diversify the factory. However, whale era, which was established by the pioneer of Antarctic whaling, Carl Anton century. One of those involved in the expedition was a Norwegian captain with stocks were declining and pelagic whaling using factory ships was more efficient Larsen. The longest operating station on South Georgia, Grytviken was closely a whaling background, Carl Anton Larsen, who established a whaling station than shore-based whaling. In the early 1960s, Grytviken was transferred to the connected with Antarctic exploration and particularly Sir Ernest Shackleton, at Grytviken in 1904. It was operated by the Argentinian-registered Compañia British company, Albion Star, which in turn leased it to a Japanese consortium. whose grave is in the Cemetery. Since the station’s closure, Grytviken played a Argentina de Pesca. Whaling ceased in 1964 and the station was abandoned. minor role in the Falklands Conflict and remains important as the only whaling station on South Georgia that is accessible to visitors. Despite doubts as to the success of this pioneering venture, Larsen proved The Falklands Conflict began in April 1982 with the Argentinian invasion of the potential for whaling in the Antarctic and five other whaling stations were South Georgia and Grytviken’s church was briefly used as a refuge by BAS staff Grytviken is located at the west end of King Edward Cove in Cumberland later established on South Georgia.

Other plant includes the Guano Factory, Separator Plant and the Glue-water Plant. To the north of the factory lies the former Manager’s Villa, now home to the South Georgia Museum; the former Slop Chest, now the Post Office; and various minor buildings. The Church and the one surviving barracks building, Nybrakka, are located to the west of the factory. Large oil tanks are massed to the north and the south. The Repair Yard lies to the south of the factory, where the Main Store survives along with the Engineering Workshop, which remains in use by the Government’s Building Team during the summer. Amidst the few standing buildings are various building bases, some with plant on them, which are the surviving remains of buildings that were mostly removed in 2003/4 as part of the asbestos and oil redemption project. The Cemetery is located a short distance apart from the rest of the Whaling Station. Along the shoreline are the remains of Tijuca and Harpon jetties and the catcher slipway. Four vessels are beached along the shore: the barque Louise, which has been at the station since its creation in 1904, the whale catchers Albatros and Petrel and the transport vessel and sealer Dias, all of which arrived in the 1920s.

  • Endurance: a Glorious Failure – the Imperial Transantarctic Expedition 1914 – 16 by Alasdair Mcgregor
    Endurance: A glorious failure – The Imperial Transantarctic Expedition 1914 – 16 By Alasdair McGregor ‘Better a live donkey than a dead lion’ was how Ernest Shackleton justified to his wife Emily the decision to turn back unrewarded from his attempt to reach the South Pole in January 1909. Shackleton and three starving, exhausted companions fell short of the greatest geographical prize of the era by just a hundred and sixty agonising kilometres, yet in defeat came a triumph of sorts. Shackleton’s embrace of failure in exchange for a chance at survival has rightly been viewed as one of the greatest, and wisest, leadership decisions in the history of exploration. Returning to England and a knighthood and fame, Shackleton was widely lauded for his achievement in almost reaching the pole, though to him such adulation only heightened his frustration. In late 1910 news broke that the Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen would now vie with Shackleton’s archrival Robert Falcon Scott in the race to be first at the pole. But rather than risk wearing the ill-fitting and forever constricting suit of the also-ran, Sir Ernest Shackleton then upped the ante, and in March 1911 announced in the London press that the crossing of the entire Antarctic continent via the South Pole would thereafter be the ultimate exploratory prize. The following December Amundsen triumphed, and just three months later, Robert Falcon Scott perished; his own glorious failure neatly tailored for an empire on the brink of war and searching for a propaganda hero. The field was now open for Shackleton to hatch a plan, and in December 1913 the grandiloquently titled Imperial Transantarctic Expedition was announced to the world.

  • Navigation on Shackleton's Voyage to Antarctica
    Records of the Canterbury Museum, 2019 Vol. 33: 5–22 © Canterbury Museum 2019 5 Navigation on Shackleton’s voyage to Antarctica Lars Bergman1 and Robin G Stuart2 1Saltsjöbaden, Sweden 2Valhalla, New York, USA Email: [email protected] On 19 January 1915, the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition, under the leadership of Sir Ernest Shackleton, became trapped in their vessel Endurance in the ice pack of the Weddell Sea. The subsequent ordeal and efforts that lead to the successful rescue of all expedition members are the stuff of legend and have been extensively discussed elsewhere. Prior to that time, however, the voyage had proceeded relatively uneventfully and was dutifully recorded in Captain Frank Worsley’s log and work book. This provides a window into the navigational methods used in the day-to- day running of the ship by a master mariner under normal circumstances in the early twentieth century. The conclusions that can be gleaned from a careful inspection of the log book over this period are described here. Keywords: celestial navigation, dead reckoning, double altitudes, Ernest Shackleton, Frank Worsley, Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition, Mercator sailing, time sight Introduction On 8 August 1914, the Imperial Trans-Antarctic passage in the 22½ foot (6.9 m) James Caird to Expedition under the leadership of Sir Ernest seek rescue from South Georgia.

The keen birders were the first away, on their mission to the Tierra del Fuego National Park in search of the Magellanic woodpecker. They were rewarded with sightings of both male and female woodpeckers, Andean condors, flocks of Austral parakeets, and a wonderful view of an Austral pygmy owl, as well as a wide variety of other birds to check off their lists. The majority of our group went off on a catamaran tour of the Beagle Channel, where we saw South American sea lions on offshore islands before sailing on to the national park for a walk along the shore and an enjoyable Argentinian BBQ lunch. Others chose to hike in the deciduous beech forests of Reserva Natural Cerro Alarkén around the Arakur Resort & Spa. After only a few minutes of hiking, we saw an Andean condor soar above us and watched as a stunning red and black Magellanic woodpecker flew towards us and perched on the trunk of a nearby tree.

    Paper Number: 2897 A History of Early Antarctic Fossil Discoveries in Support of the Supercontinent Gondwana Clary, R.M.1, and Sharpe, T.2 1Mississippi State University, Box 5448, Mississippi State, MS 39762 USA; [email protected] 2Centre for Lifelong Learning, Cardiff University, UK ___________________________________________________________________________ First proposed by Eduard Suess (1831-1914), the supercontinent Gondwana included the present-day continents of South America, Africa, Australia, India, and Antarctica. Alexander Du Toit (1878-1948) expanded Suess’ work in his 1937 book, Our Wandering Continents; An Hypothesis of Continental Drifting. Correlating evidence to support the inclusion of Antarctica in the Gondwana supercontinent would result from the stratigraphic and paleontological data collected within early polar expeditions. Early rock and fossil specimens of Antarctica were recovered by the 1829-1831 Antarctic Expedition sponsored by the United States of America. The expedition included a scientific program, supported by the Lyceum for Natural History of the City of New York. James Eights (1798-1882) produced quality scientific work, including a geological description of the Shetland Islands, and the first fossil of the Antarctic—carbonized wood [1, 2]. The Norwegian expedition of 1893-1894, under Carl Anton Larsen (1860-1924), also found petrified wood fossils on Seymour Island. The wood hinted of a warmer climate in Antarctica’s past, and sparked scientific interest [3]. Within the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration (1897-1922), additional fossils were uncovered. Cretaceous ammonites, molluscs, echinoderms and leaves were collected on Seymour Island, and additional plant fossils at Hope Bay, by geologist Nils Otto Gustaf Nordenskjöld (1869-1928) during the Swedish South Polar Expedition of 1901-1904.
