  Following Edward Wilson into the Unknown, Dr Edward Wilson English Polar Explorer, Ornithologist, Physician and artist died in Antarctica in 1912. isbn 9781901037272 The discovery of a bird painting by Edward Wilson, who died with Scott on their return from the South Pole, hit the headlines in 2017. The bird was a dead treecreeper, an insignificant inhabitant of European woodland. Why was it there? This author had carried a treecreeper photo in his wallet for seven years after emigrating to New Zealand in 1960, to remind him of home. The coincidence led to a search of Wilson's portfolio, producing 150 paired images; many were weird - grooves on a bird's toenails? Dingle beach, Ireland; same time of day, same tide level, directly into a red sun? Coincidences in their characters came next: both learned art from their parents, at university they looked and dressed like twins, graduated with first class honours in Natural History, won prizes in diving, taught Sunday schools, and ...

Lots of myths on Byrds Operation Highjump in Antarctica

Image
Lots of myths on Byrds Operation Highjump like flying underground which can be ignored, but some interesting things have been said in the film documentaries of the day. Where are the walls of coal that were talked about in the late 1940s? I know the USA were very interested in claiming mining rights in the 1940s but walls of coal? And warm water lakes? As for the fresh warm water lakes that have started many a myth at a guess, I would say not warm but above freezing melt water lakes of Queen Mauds land, which were mapped by the German expedition in 1936. For those interested in the mapping of these lakes should read my book Antarctic Exploration Germany in Antarctica isbn 9781901037111. One surprise to me when looking at the films made at the time is the aircraft having enough fuel to fly to Queen Mauds land from Little America and back again in 1947. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9chz8COYVc ISBN 9781901037111
