South America (top left), Africa (top right) and Australia / New Zealand
(bottom right). The earth could never be viewed in this way as in
reality one half of this view would be in daylight and the other in
darkness.

100 Years Ago in Antarctica
The Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration
Scott:
17th January, 1912 -
The Pole
Camp 69. T. -22°F at start. Night -21°F. The Pole.
Yes, but under very different circumstances from those expected....
Great God! this is an awful
place
and terrible enough for us to have laboured to it without the
reward of priority. Well, it is something to have got here, and the wind may be
our friend to-morrow....
Now
for the run home and a desperate struggle. I wonder if we can do
it.
Amundsen:
16th January 1912 -
The Return to Framheim On January 16 we arrived at the depot in 82° S.
We could see from a long way off that the order in which we had left it no
longer prevailed. When we came up to it, we saw at once what had happened. The
innumerable dog-tracks that had trampled the snow quite hard round the depot
declared plainly enough that the runaways had spent a good deal of time here.
Ice Breaker Penetrating the Ice Pack
Standish Backus Watercolor

towing an oiler ship (bulk fuel carrier) YOG-34 through the Ross
Sea pack, while overhead one of the helicopters scouts the ice conditions.

Ice sheets contain a record of hundreds
of thousands of years of past climate, trapped in the ancient
snow. Scientists recover this
climate history by drilling cores in the ice, up to 3,500
meters (11,000 feet) deep. Photograph copyright Reto Stöckli,
