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.
Passage de Venus sur soleil 1874. This was a mission to Campbell Island, 600 kilometres south of New Zealand, to take part in the charting of the Transit of Venus. French scientists, led by Jean Jacques Anatole Bouquet de la Grye (1827-1909), departed Marseilles in June, 1874 and reached Campbell Island on 9th September, 1874, with a stop-off in Sydney to join the expedition vessel, <em>Vire</em>, which had come from Noumea. On the 9th December the expedition party tried to observe the Transit of Venus but were unsuccessful due to cloudy skies. They left Campbell Island on 28th December, 1874.The expedition party collected specimens of natural history found on the island and charts and maps were made of the surrounding areas.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Passage de Venus sur soleil 1874. This was a mission to Campbell Island, 600 kilometres south of New Zealand, to take part in the charting of the Transit of Venus. French scientists, led by Jean Jacques Anatole Bouquet de la Grye (1827-1909), departed Marseilles in June, 1874 and reached Campbell Island on 9th September, 1874, with a stop-off in Sydney to join the expedition vessel, <em>Vire</em>, which had come from Noumea. On the 9th December the expedition party tried to observe the Transit of Venus but were unsuccessful due to cloudy skies. They left Campbell Island on 28th December, 1874.The expedition party collected specimens of natural history found on the island and charts and maps were made of the surrounding areas.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The Austrian Imperial <em>Novara</em> Expedition, 1857-59. With a crew of 345 and a scientific staff of seven, the <em>Novara</em> set sail from Trieste (now in Italy) on the 30th April, 1857 to circumnavigate the globe. An ambitious and important journey for its time, some of the material collected during the voyage is still being studied today. Among the specimens brought back to Europe were the leaves of the cocaine plant, from which the first pure cocaine was extracted in 1860. Christian Gottlieb Ferdinand von Hochstetter (1829-84) was the geologist aboard the <em>Novara</em> who was encouraged by Governor Sir George Grey (1812-98) in Cape Town to remain in New Zealand in January 1859 when the <em>Novara</em> sailed for home. During his sojourn in New Zealand, Hochstetter travelled widely with the German Julius Haast (1822-87) and made many geological observations and recordings en route. Hochstetter is called by some ‘the Father of New Zealand Geology’. He returned to Trieste in January 1860.

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.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Scottish National Antarctic Expedition, 1902-04 - Almost entirely privately funded by James and Andrew Coats, from a wealthy Scottish family, the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition (SNAE) was considered to be a very successful expedition despite being overshadowed by Robert Falcon Scott’s 1901-04 Antarctic expedition aboard <em>Discovery</em>. The SNAE was led by experienced polar scientist and explorer, William Spiers Bruce and the expedition party left Scotland aboard the<em> Scotia</em> on November 2nd, 1902. During their research time in Antarctica a meteorological base was set up and became a permanent feature of the Antarctic landscape. Administered by the Argentinians and named Orcadas Base, the weather station has been in continuous operation since its inception and it is thought that the scientific research carried out during the expedition ‘laid the foundation of modern climate change studies’ (Wikipedia).

<em>Ogmorhinus leptonyx</em> - Leopard seal
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The Voyage of the<em> Southern Cross</em>, 1898-1900; (also known as British Antarctic Expedition) - Privately-funded by Sir George Newnes, a British publishing magnate, and led by Anglo-Norwegian explorer, Carsten Borchgrevink (1864-1934), <em>Southern Cross</em> sailed for Antarctica on 22nd August, 1898. It was an expedition of ‘firsts’: the first to use dogs on the ice; the first to erect buildings on the frozen continent; the first expedition party to ‘overwinter’ on the continental mainland; and unfortunately (after the death, supposedly from intestinal problems, of Norwegian zoologist Nicolai Hanson (1870-99)), the first to bury a body on Antarctica. On its return to England in June of 1900, despite its ‘ground-breaking achievements in Antarctic survival and travel’ and a number of ‘firsts’, the <em>Southern Cross</em> expedition did not receive the same accolades as subsequent British Antarctic expeditions in 1901-04, 1907-09 and 1910-13. Physicist and astronomer of the expedition, Louis Charles Bernacchi (1876-1942) wrote an account of his time aboard <em>Southern Cross</em> and subsequently joined as physicist Robert Falcon Scott’s<em> Discovery</em> expedition to Antarctica in 1901-04.

It was an expedition of ‘firsts’: the first to use dogs on the ice; the first to erect buildings on the frozen continent; the first expedition party to ‘overwinter’ on the continental mainland; and unfortunately (after the death, supposedly from intestinal problems, of Norwegian zoologist Nicolai Hanson (1870-99)), the first to bury a body on Antarctica. On its return to England in June of 1900, despite its ‘ground-breaking achievements in Antarctic survival and travel’ and a number of ‘firsts’, the <em>Southern Cross</em> expedition did not receive the same accolades as subsequent British Antarctic expeditions in 1901-04, 1907-09 and 1910-13. Physicist and astronomer of the expedition, Louis Charles Bernacchi (1876-1942) wrote an account of his time aboard<em> Southern Cross</em> and subsequently joined as physicist Robert Falcon Scott’s<em> Discovery</em> expedition to Antarctica in 1901-04.
