    NOT FOR PUBLICATION INSTITUTE OF CURRENT WORLD AFFAIRS Grand Hotel Brussels, Belgium Belgium and Antarctica March 29, 1960 Mr. Richard Nolte Execu ive Director Institute of Current World Affairs 366 Madison Avenue New York 17, New York Dear Dick: Commandant Gaston de Gerlache de Gomery, a slight, youngish- looking man with a pronounced twitch in his right eye, hardly appears to be the dynamo of energy who, alm.ost single-handed, has been res- ponsible for the remarkable revival of Belgium's interest in Antarctica. Born in 1920, he was, during his youth, i.t.nsely aware of the reputation of his father, Baron Adrlen de Gerlache, who had become internationally famous in the early years of the century for his leadership of the 1897-1899 Belgian Ant- arctic Expedition aboard the Belgicm.. This vessel, which drifted in the Antarctic pack ice along the western coast of the Palmer Peninsula for over a year, had been the first in history to remain within the Antarctic region throughout an entire winter season. In 1940, at the age of 20, de Gerlache entered the Belgian Air Force. He was soon moved to England, where he spent most of his seven years of military service flying with the R.A.F. It was during this period that he first met Francois Bastin, a young Air Force meteorologist, who was destined to lead the second Belgian Antarctic Expedition, which just returned to Belgium this month, after a year in Antarctica. Following the war, de Gerlache returned to Belgium, worked in Ghent as an engineer, married and began raising a family, which today includes a chazuning wife and three children, all of whom live at the Chateau de Millem.

  • 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.

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 smallest grain size sediments were found in the bay head and are interpreted as fine-grained deposits resulting from meltwater plumes and sediment gravity flows occurring close to the glacier front. The middle of the bay is characterized by a high silt percentage, which correlates to diatom-rich sediments. Sediments in the outer bay have a high component of coarse material, which is interpreted as being the result of winnowing from currents moving from the Bellingshausen Sea into the Gerlache Strait. Palaeoenvironmental reconstructions of glacial environ- ments often use grain size as an indicator of proximity to the ice margin.

  • The Tectonic Structure of Gerlache Strait, West Antarctica Struktura Tektoniczna Cieśniny Gerlache'a - Antarktyka Zachodnia
    Krzysztof BIRKENMAJER POLISH POLAR STUDIES Institute of Geological Sciences XXVI Polar Symposium Polish Academy of Sciences Senacka 3, 31-002 Cracow POLAND At Lublin, June 1999 THE TECTONIC STRUCTURE OF GERLACHE STRAIT, WEST ANTARCTICA STRUKTURA TEKTONICZNA CIEŚNINY GERLACHE'A - ANTARKTYKA ZACHODNIA ABSTRACT Four major fault-bounded blocks are recognized in the Gerlache Strait area, West Antarctica: the Danco Coast Block; the Brabant Island Block; the Neumayer Channel Block; and the Anvers-Melchior Islands Block. The blocks differ from each other in the succession and age of rocks. The faults bounding the blocks are mainly strike-slip ones and of Tertiary age. INTRODUCTION Geological investigations in the area of Gerlache Strait, West Antarctica, were carried out by the present author during the Polish Geodynamic Expeditions of 1984-1985 and 1987-1988 organized by the Polish Academy of Sciences and led by Prof. A. Guterch (Birkenmajer 1987, 1988). The present paper summarises main tectonic features of the area as recognized by the author in the field, and gives a reinterpretation of some geological data published earlier by other authors (for more geological information - see Birkenmajer 1995, 1998). FAULT SYSTEMS Two systems of Tertiary strike-slip faults are recognizable in the area of Ger- lache Strait between Danco Coast and Anvers Island (Fig. 1): the longitudinal faults and the transversal ones (Birkenmajer 1985, 1988). They bound major tectonic blocks of the area which differ in age, composition and succession of predomi- nantly magmatic rocks (Fig. 2). 46 Krzysztof Birkenmajer Fig. 1.
