One man’s fascinating record of four winters in the Antarctic during the 1920s, the period of transition from the isolation of the Heroic Age to the beginnings of radio communication with the world outside. The Argentine José Manuel Moneta (1900-1973) chronicles in words and photographs the many and varied aspects of life on a Southern Ocean island which few visit even today. Seals and penguins provide much of the food; coal and paraffin are used for heating and lighting, and electricity is a new introduction. A relief ship comes just once a year. José Manuel Moneta’s account of the Sou... View more info

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. Two of these men tragically died, and only the leader, Douglas Mawson, returned after what has been described as the greatest survival story in the history of exploration. It is evident from his diary that the young Ninnis was determined to follow in his father’s steps as a polar explorer.

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
