Thanks for posting this interesting piece. Most of us will never get the chance to see this ourselves.

There is an interesting book: “By the Seat of My Pants” by Dean C. Smith. He was a pilot on one of Admiral Richard Byrd’s Antarctic expeditions around 1929, when they were first to fly over the South Pole. According to Smith, Byrd was a pilot (naval aviator), but not a very good one. They didn’t get along. I had a friend who also knew Byrd up on the coast of Maine, where he was regarded as a sort of lovable eccentric. But he did a great deal to open up Antarctica to exploration.

Be warned though, global warming is beginning to take its toll and the 100-year-old seal blubber which had been in deep freeze has begun to smell “quite rancid.”

Does the data show that Antarctica has been warming in recent years?

What a wonderful post.

Thank you.

I did my grade 6 science project on the Scott Expedition.

I only received an -A because I used Contact Cement to glue the pictures in.

The teacher said reading it gave her a headache.

This is from just above the hut at Port Lockroy (which the British renamed from Port Lacroix when they took it from the French). Very pretty spot.
