A summary of the resource.
The American-Australian Scientific Expedition to Arnhem Land, 1948
In February 1948, 12 Australians and 5 Americans, men and women, set out on a 9 month expedition across Arnhem Land in the north of Australia. Led by Australian anthropologist and photographer Charles Mountford (1890-1976), the expedition’s aim was to chronicle the indigenous peoples and their environment. An enormous amount of data was collected including artefacts, scientific specimens and photographs. The expedition was ground-breaking for the time.

<p>Voyage of the <em>Astrolabe</em>, 1826-1829</p>
<p>Jules Dumont D’Urville (1790-1842) led this information-gathering expedition to the Pacific Islands aboard<em> Astrolabe</em> and hoped to build on the scientific knowledge gained from Louis Isidore Duperrey’s expedition of 1822-25. D’Urville sailed from Toulon in France in April, 1826 with three naturalists – Lesson, Quoy and Gaimard. <em>Astrolabe</em>, with D’Urville and his crew, sailed off the coast of the South Island of New Zealand in January 1827 and collected specimens from Astrolabe Bay in Nelson. Some specimens from the expedition are still in collections housed in the Natural History Museum in Paris.</p>

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
This scientific expedition to Antarctica was led by Australian Douglas Mawson (1882-1958) and was largely financed by the Australasian Association for the Advancement of Science and the Royal Geographical Society of London. The expedition set off from London on 28th July, 1911 and subsequently sailed out of Tasmania on 2nd December, 1911. The expedition vessel, <em>Aurora,</em> was captained by John King Davis (1884-1967), a colleague of Mawson’s from Shackleton’s British Antarctic Expedition 1907-09. Inspired by his participation in that expedition, Douglas Mawson wrote that ‘one felt a great urge to go on and discover the limits of Antarctic land in that direction [towards the Magnetic Pole]’ (Mawson, <em>Introduction</em>, Series A, volume 1). Participants in this Australasian expedition included four New Zealanders.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Named after the ship, the <em>Nimrod</em>, this expedition sailed for Antarctica in August, 1907, under the leadership of Ernest Shackleton (1874-1922). The expeditionary party came together in New Zealand and sailed for Antarctica on January 1st, 1908. Shackleton hoped to be the first person ever to reach the South Pole but he ultimately failed. Geographical and scientific observations were made throughout the expedition and the team made the first ascent of Mount Erebus. Professor Edgeworth David led the scientific team with Douglas Mawson as a member; both men were from Australia.<em> Nimrod</em> returned to New Zealand on 23rd March, 1909.

This 65-man scientific expedition was led by Robert Falcon Scott (1868-1912). Sailing in <em>Terra Nova</em>, Scott hoped to be the first to reach the South Pole. Scott and his four colleagues did reach the South Pole on the 17th January, 1912 but had been beaten by Norwegian Roald Amundsen (1872-1928) and his team who had reached the Pole 33 days before Scott. Unfortunately, Scott and his party perished on the Ross Ice Shelf on the return journey.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The supposed scientific nature of this expedition was a front to cover a secret war-time coast-watch programme. The New Zealand Government were suspicious that Germans were using sub-Antarctic islands as bases. Three, four, or five men were stationed at three bases, two on Auckland Island and one on Campbell Island. The men were relieved only once a year. Along with their coast-watching duties the men were charged with making scientific observations on the weather, the environment and the wildlife. All participants in the expedition were demobbed in October 1945.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Two expeditionary parties, led by Canadian explorer Vilhjalmur Stefansson (1879-1962), travelled into Canada’s wilds in 1913, one to the North, the other to the South. The North party intended to search for new land in the Canadian Arctic; the South party carried out scientific research, observed the indigenous peoples and researched copper deposits in the area. During the first year of the expedition, the research vessel<em> Karluk</em> was carried away by ice and subsequently crushed with the loss of eleven lives. Among the members of the expedition was New Zealander Diamond Jenness (1886-1969), an anthropologist, born in Wellington and educated at Oxford. A survivor of the <em>Karluk</em> crushing, Jenness spent two years living with the Copper Inuit and his research helped to cement his reputation as an eminent ethnologist. He became Canada’s Chief Anthropologist in 1926.

Two four-month trips took place in 1895 and 1896 during which the <em>Ingolf</em> and its crew made an ‘exploration of the Arctic seas around Iceland and Greenland, zoological collections being the principal object of the expedition’ (C. F. Wandel, <em>Report of the Voyage</em>, volume 1). The expedition party included zoologists, a physicist and a botanist.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
In July, 1947 the<em> Albatross</em> left Gothenburg, Sweden for a 15-month, privately funded voyage with oceanographer and leader of the expedition, Hans Pettersson and his scientific team aboard. The aim of the expedition was to explore the depths of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans near the equator. The team retrieved core-samples from the bottom of the ocean, took water samples, made temperature recordings, carried out deep-sea trawlings, and made echograms of the ocean floor. The <em>Albatross</em> and its crew covered 45,000 nautical miles and took core samples from depths of almost 8000 metres.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
This was the third of three similar expeditions led by Norwegian scientist Kristian Birkeland (1867-1917), all with aims to investigate the causes of ‘magnetic disturbances on the earth and <em>aurora borealis</em>’ (Birkeland, Preface, volume 1). The 1902-03 expedition was wide-ranging. Staff at four stations in Finmark, Norway; Iceland; Spitsbergen, Norway; and Novaya Zemlya, Arctic Russia, collected scientific data which was to be augmented by data collected from as many stations as possible around the world.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Led by Captain Sir James Clark Ross, this voyage was the last sail-only expedition. The well-provisioned ships set sail from Chatham in Kent, England on the 29th September, 1839 and took a very circuitous route to the South Pole, visiting many islands in the Atlantic on the way and Australia and New Zealand. The main aim of the expedition was to find the magnetic South Pole and to ‘collect the various objects of Natural History’ (Joseph Dalton Hooker, <em>Summary of the Voyage</em>, volume 1 supplement). The voyagers saw their first iceberg at the end of December, 1840 and reached the edge of the icepack on the 3rd of January, 1841. The Ross Sea is named for Captain Ross and Mount Erebus in Antarctica was named after the lead ship. The expedition made several voyages into the Antarctic region in the subsequent southern summers and returned to England on the 4th September, 1843.

A summary of the resource.
Led by Captain Sir James Clark Ross, this voyage was the last sail-only expedition. The well-provisioned ships set sail from Chatham in Kent, England on the 29th September, 1839 and took a very circuitous route to the South Pole, visiting many islands in the Atlantic on the way and Australia and New Zealand. The main aim of the expedition was to find the magnetic South Pole and to ‘collect the various objects of Natural History’ (Joseph Dalton Hooker, <em>Summary of the Voyage</em>, volume 1 supplement). The voyagers saw their first iceberg at the end of December, 1840 and reached the edge of the icepack on the 3rd of January, 1841. The Ross Sea is named for Captain Ross and Mount Erebus in Antarctica was named after the lead ship. The expedition made several voyages into the Antarctic region in the subsequent southern summers and returned to England on the 4th September, 1843.
