Welcome to all Fids
and OAEs

FIDS - "Falklands
Islands Dependencies Survey" was the original name for what became the "British
Antarctic Survey" (BAS). Members of FIDS referred to themselves as
"Fids" and the name stuck. It is usually taken as meaning someone who
has travelled to Antarctica and worked on a FIDS or BAS ship or base. Some
purists maintain that it should only apply to those who have wintered
on such a base - no distinction is drawn here and all are welcome.
OEA's - "Old
Antarctic Explorers" the name by which expeditioners who go to Antarctica
from the USA call themselves. Originally with the Navy, more recently with
the NOAA. As with FIDS, the purest form are those who have overwintered.
