'Landscapes of Exploration' Education Pack
Landscapes of Exploration February 11 – 31 March 2012 Peninsula Arts Gallery Education Pack Cover image courtesy of British Antarctic Survey Cover image: Launch of a radiosonde meteorological balloon by a scientist/meteorologist at Halley Research Station. Atmospheric scientists at Rothera and Halley Research Stations collect data about the atmosphere above Antarctica this is done by launching radiosonde meteorological balloons which have small sensors and a transmitter attached to them. The balloons are filled with helium and so rise high into the Antarctic atmosphere sampling the air and transmitting the data back to the station far below. A radiosonde meteorological balloon holds an impressive 2,000 litres of helium, giving it enough lift to climb for up to two hours. Helium is lighter than air and so causes the balloon to rise rapidly through the atmosphere, while the instruments beneath it sample all the required data and transmit the information back to the surface. - Permissions for information on radiosonde meteorological balloons kindly provided by British Antarctic Survey. For a full activity sheet on how scientists collect data from the air in Antarctica please visit the Discovering Antarctica website www.discoveringantarctica.org.uk and select resources www.discoveringantarctica.org.uk has been developed jointly by the Royal Geographical Society, with IBG0 and the British Antarctic Survey, with funding from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

The Nimrod Antarctic Expedition
THE NIMROD ANTARCTIC EXPENDITION Dr. W. A. Rupert Michell (1879-1966) Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton (1874-1922), a giant of Antarctic exploration, made four journeys into the earth’s most southerly continent. On the Discovery Expedition of 1901-1904 he was Third Officer to Robert Falcon Scott (1868-1912)1. Then, between 1907 and 1922, he organized and led three expeditions2 himself. On the first of these his team included a 28-year- old doctor from Perth, Ontario, W. A. R. Michell. William Arthur ‘Rupert’ Michell was born at Perth, on October 18, 1879, the second son of Francis Lambton Michell (1849-1928) and Margaret Helen Bell (1854-1930). His father was, first, a teacher and later principal at the Perth Collegiate Institute and then, County Inspector of Public Schools. Michell received his primary and secondary education at Perth and in 1902 graduated from the University of Toronto Medical School. He was on staff at Hamilton General Hospital until 1904 when he returned to Lanark County and purchased the practice of Dr. Herbert Edwin Gage (1867-1926) at McDonalds Corners, in Dalhousie Township, north of Perth. In 1906 Michell left McDonald’s Corners and Canada for England where he planned to undertake post graduate studies. Before doing so, however, he signed on with the Elder-Dempster Line as a ship’s surgeon. The shipping line had been founded in 1868 specifically to serve travel and trade between the United Kingdom and colonial outposts on the west coast of Africa. Elder-Dempster ships provided scheduled service to-and- from Sierra Leone; Cape Palmas (Liberia); Cape Coast Castle and Accra (Ghana); Lagos, Benin Bonny and Old Calabar (Nigeria); and Fernando Po (Equatorial Guinea). -
JOURNAL Number Six
THE JAMES CAIRD SOCIETY JOURNAL Number Six Antarctic Exploration Sir Ernest Shackleton MARCH 2012 1 Shackleton and a friend (Oliver Locker Lampson) in Cromer, c.1910. Image courtesy of Cromer Museum. 2 The James Caird Society Journal – Number Six March 2012 The Centennial season has arrived. Having celebrated Shackleton’s British Antarctic (Nimrod) Expedition, courtesy of the ‘Matrix Shackleton Centenary Expedition’, in 2008/9, we now turn our attention to the events of 1910/12. This was a period when 3 very extraordinary and ambitious men (Amundsen, Scott and Mawson) headed south, to a mixture of acclaim and tragedy. A little later (in 2014) we will be celebrating Sir Ernest’s ‘crowning glory’ –the Centenary of the Imperial Trans-Antarctic (Endurance) Expedition 1914/17. Shackleton failed in his main objective (to be the first to cross from one side of Antarctica to the other). He even failed to commence his land journey from the Weddell Sea coast to Ross Island. However, the rescue of his entire team from the ice and extreme cold (made possible by the remarkable voyage of the James Caird and the first crossing of South Georgia’s interior) was a remarkable feat and is the reason why most of us revere our polar hero and choose to be members of this Society. For all the alleged shenanigans between Scott and Shackleton, it would be a travesty if ‘Number Six’ failed to honour Captain Scott’s remarkable achievements - in particular, the important geographical and scientific work carried out on the Discovery and Terra Nova expeditions (1901-3 and 1910-12 respectively). -

You Wouldn't Want to Be on Shackleton's Polar Expedition!
BOOK HOUSE WWW.SALARIYA.COM You Wouldn’t Want to Be on Shackleton’s Polar Expedition! Teachers’ Information Sheet by Nicky Milsted It is 1914. The book follows the story of famous explorer Ernest Shackleton and his crew on the Endurance as they undertake an expedition to try to complete the first overland crossing of the icy and inhospitable continent of Antarctica via the South Pole. Their planned route takes them from a landing point on the coast of Antarctica in the Weddell Sea to the Ross Sea. The crossing will be dangerous, cold and immensely hard work. The intention is to drag sledges laden with supplies across the vast icy unmapped wilderness for around 3,330km! The story of the expedition is told through one of Shackleton’s crew, an experienced sailor called Frank Worsley who is the captain of the ship. Endurance sets sail in August 1914; the start of the expedition coinciding with the start of World War One. After sailing south for four months, Endurance enters the Weddell Sea in December 1914 and becomes ice bound in January 1915. The crew cannot force their way through to make landfall. The ship and men are stuck fast – for ten long months! And what is more, the ice is pulling the ship in the wrong direction, away from the coast of Antarctica. In November 1915, after being destroyed by the pressure of the ice, Endurance sinks and the crew are marooned. After an aborted attempt to drag the ship’s lifeboats to the nearest land 650km away, Shackleton decides that the only option is to set up camp on the ice and drift with it – hopefully towards land. -

A Chemical and Hydrographic Atlantic Ocean Survey: CHAOS. REFERENCE: Southampton Oceanography Centre Cruise Report, No. 24, 86pp. ABSTRACT RRS Discovery Cruise 233, CHAOS (Chemical and Hydrographic Atlantic Ocean Survey) combined a long meridional section notionally along 20°W from 20°N to Iceland with a detailed survey of the Rockall Trough. The meridional section was designed to i) establish the sources and sinks of halocarbons in subtropical and subpolar waters during spring bloom conditions; ii) to examine the decadal scale variability in the eastern Atlantic over the last 40 years by repeating the northern part of the WOCE A16 line first occupied in 1988 and again in 1993 (NATL 93), and parts of other sections occupied in 1957, 1973, 1983 and 1991; iii). to study the spreading mixing and ventilation rates of Labrador Sea Water, Mediterranean Water, and waters of Southern Ocean origin (Antarctic Intermediate Water and Antarctic Bottom Water) which extend into the northeast Atlantic. The detailed survey of the Rockall Trough comprised 4 zonal sections notionally at 57°N, 56°N, 54°N and 52°N in order to i) make a detailed study of the water masses in the Rockall Trough with particular emphasis on their circulation/recirculation patterns ii) to re-occupy stations along the Ellett line (57°N) to continue the time series dating from 1975. -

History of Antarctica - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 1 of 13 Coordinates: 67°15′S 39°35′E History of Antarctica From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For the natural history of the Antarctic continent, see Antarctica. The history of Antarctica emerges from early Western theories of a vast continent, known as Terra Australis, believed to exist in the far south of the globe. The term Antarctic, referring to the opposite of the Arctic Circle, was coined by Marinus of Tyre in the 2nd century AD. The rounding of the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Horn in the 15th and 16th centuries proved that Terra Australis Incognita ("Unknown Southern Land"), if it existed, was a continent in its own right. In 1773 James Cook and his crew crossed the Antarctic Circle for the first time but although they discovered nearby islands, they did not catch sight of Antarctica itself. It is believed he was as close as 150 miles from the mainland. In 1820, several expeditions claimed to have been the first to have sighted the ice shelf or the continent. A Russian expedition was led by Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen and Mikhail Lazarev, a British expedition was captained by Edward Bransfield and an American sealer Nathaniel Palmer participated. The first landing was probably just over a year later when American Captain John Davis, a sealer, set foot on the ice. Several expeditions attempted to reach the South Pole in the early 20th century, during the 'Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration'. Many resulted in injury and death. Norwegian Roald Amundsen finally reached the Pole on December 14, 1911, following a dramatic race with the Englishman Robert Falcon Scott. -
