Fur seals, whales and tourists: A commercial history of Deception Island, Antarctica
Deception Island in the South Shetland Islands was the site of some of the earliest commercial activity to be carried out in the Antarctic with the early 19th century hunting of Antarctic fur seals. Nearly a century later it was the site of the most extensive anchorage for the reconstructed ships and ocean liners used as non-pelagic whale processing factories. Deception was also the site of what is the only successful land based commercial activi…
Dr Poulter's Antarctic Snow Cruiser
In 1939 Dr Thomas C. Poulter, Director of the Armour Institute, Chicago and a veteran of Byrd's second Antarctic expedition, designed and constructed a 30 tonne wheeled vehicle known as the Snow Cruiser for use with the US Antarctic Service Expedition. Designed for self-contained long-distance travel, the vehicle had many new features including twin diesel engines, independent electric drive and steering on each of its four wheels, and a light ai…
The first attempts at motor transport in Antarctica, 1907–1911
One of the most spectacular achievements during the late 1950's was the attainment of the South Pole and the subsequent crossing of Antarctica by Vivian Fuchs with the support of Edmund Hillary. Both parties reached the pole driving over-snow vehicles ranging from modified farm tractors to mechanically complex Sno-cats. The first and last bases on the crossing were named after Scott and Shackleton, in honour of Britain's two most celebrated names…
