  • The Exploration of the Graham Land Region

  • Hugh Robert Mill
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    27 October 2009, pp. 130-142

  • The sector of the Antarctic regions between the meridians of 30° and 90° W. is still largely unknown, and offers a particularly attractive field for exploration. It was the scene of the earliest discovery of land south of the Antarctic Circle, of the earliest and also of. the latest economic exploitation of the South Polar regions and it is the only part of the Antarctic where very large areas have been seen from the air but never visited on the surface either by sea or land. It is appropriate that a concise summary of the exploration of this region should be put together, in view of the expedition now being organised by John R. Rymill with the active support of the Royal Geographical Society, the British Government, the Discovery Committee and the Polar Institute.

  • The Work of the William Scoresby, 1930–32

  • E. R. Gunther
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    27 October 2009, pp. 77-81

  • The Royal Research Ship William Scoresby left England in November 1930 and returned to Falmouth on June 1, 1932. On this, her third commission, she carried out successfully three items of work on the Discovery Committee's programme: surveys of the southern whaling grounds, of the Humboldt Current, and of the Falkland Islands fishery grounds. Her total complement of twenty-one included two scientific and five other officers and on recent cruises she has worked 351 stations. Mr E. R. Gunther was in charge of the scientific work, with Commander T. A. Jolliffe, R.N. (Ret.), in executive command.
