On 10 November 1912, the Far Eastern Party, consisting of three men and seventeen dogs set off on a sledging trip. The men were Douglas Mawson, Xavier Mertz and Belgrave Ninnis.

More than a quarter of a century before the Falklands War took place, the dispute with Argentina and Chile over sovereignty of the Falklands and the British Dependencies in Antarctica had underlined the need for accurate maps. Consequently in 1955 the Government decided to fund a special expedition to undertake air photography and land-based control of Grahamland, now referred to as the Antarctic Peninsula. Peter Mott was assigned to organise and lead the expedition, which ultimately surveyed 35,000 square miles of hitherto unmapped territory. View more info
