    ITALY IN THE ARCTIC TOWARDS AN ITALIAN STRATEGY FOR THE ARCTIC NATIONAL GUIDELINES MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION 2015 1 ITALY IN THE ARCTIC 1. ITALY IN THE ARCTIC: MORE THAN A CENTURY OF HISTORY The history of the Italian presence in the Arctic dates back to 1899, when Luigi Amedeo di Savoia, Duke of the Abruzzi, sailed from Archangelsk with his ship (christened Stella Polare) to use the Franz Joseph Land as a stepping stone. The plan was to reach the North Pole on sleds pulled by dogs. His expedition missed its target, though it reached previously unattained latitudes. In 1926 Umberto Nobile managed to cross for the first time the Arctic Sea from Europe to Alaska, taking off from Rome together with Roald Amundsen (Norway) and Lincoln Ellsworth (USA) on the Norge airship (designed and piloted by Nobile). They were the first to reach the North Pole, where they dropped the three national flags. 1 Two years later Nobile attempted a new feat on a new airship, called Italia. Operating from Kings Bay (Ny-Ålesund), Italia flew four times over the Pole, surveying unexplored areas for scientific purposes. On its way back, the airship crashed on the ice pack north of the Svalbard Islands and lost nearly half of its crew. 2 The accident was linked to adverse weather, including a high wind blowing from the northern side of the Svalbard Islands to the Franz Joseph Land: this wind stream, previously unknown, was nicknamed Italia, after the expedition that discovered it. 4 Nobile’s expeditions may be considered as the first Italian scientific missions in the Arctic region.

  • Report Concerning the Preparation of the Third Edition of the General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans
    REPORT CONCERNING THE PREPARATION OF THE THIRD EDITION OF THE GENERAL BATHYMETRIC CHART OF THE OCEANS by Captain H .L.G . BENCKER, Secretary-General of the International Hydrographic Bureau. (Brought up to date as of 31st December, 1952). In the month of June 1930, the International Hydographic Bureau drew up a report concerning the Bathymetric Soundings of the Oceans; this was presented at the Fourth General Assembly of the International Geodetic and Geophysical Union (Section of Physical Oceanography) at Stockholm in August 1930. It is not our intention to repeat here the details and arguments contained in the monograph referred to, which was reproduced in the Hydrographic Review, Volume V II, No. 2, Monaco, November 1930, pages 64-97, to which the reader may refer should he deem it necessary. Below, however, is given a brief outline o'f the efforts which have been made up to the present to keep up the elementary record of our knowledge concerning the topography of the ocean-bottom, grouped in its most general sense. The following is a chronological list of the fundamental compilations made on this subject since the middle of last century, with the names of their authors: 1854. M. F. M aury, U.S.N. — Map of the Basin of the North Atlantic, Cf. The Physical Geography of the Sea (1860). 1874. J. P rESTWICH. — Planisphere of the Oceans (Phil. Trans.

  • 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. (Hons) (1999), Ph.D. (Ed.) (2005), B.Ant.Stud. (Hons) (2009) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science – Social Sciences. University of Tasmania 2013 This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for a degree or diploma by the University or any other institution, except by way of background information and duly acknowledged in the thesis, and to the best of my knowledge and belief no material previously published or written by another person except where due acknowledgement is made in the text of the thesis. ………………………………….. ………………….. Patricia Margaret Millar Date This thesis may be made available for loan and limited copying in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968. ………………………………….. ………………….. 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.

  • 'The Long Silence'
    Just on a hundred years ago, on 31 March 1909, a small crowd of people gathered in the pre- dawn gloom of Darling Harbour, waiting for a steamer to arrive. Professor T.W.Edgeworth David was returning to Sydney after an absence of 15 months, during which time he had served as leader of the scientific team on Ernest Shackleton’s Antarctic expedition, undertaken a climb of the volcanic Mt Erebus and successfully completed a hazardous journey to the vicinity of the South Magnetic Pole. He was returning to Australia a popular hero. Many in the waiting crowd were students, young men and women from David’s geology department at the University of Sydney. It was a cold morning and people were muffled in scarves and overcoats. They stood around in subdued conversation or passed the time watching the loading of coal on the many ships berthed there under the glare of huge electric lights. At 5am the first rays of sun appeared and soon afterwards a vessel glided into view through the fog. The Sydney Mail described the arrival: ‘ A tall figure on the steamer’s deck was looking eagerly at the crowd on the wharf. There was no mistaking that old, familiar form.’ An undergraduate yelled, ‘“I see you’ve got your old brown hat on...” And, greeted with smiles and hand-wringing, Professor David was home from Antarctica.’ * * * * * * * In 1907 Edgeworth David had learnt that Ernest Shackleton, a veteran of Robert Scott’s polar expedition of 1901/2, was raising funds for a new expedition to the Antarctic.
