Historical Antarctic Pictures and Events
1911 - Cherry-Garrard, winter journey: It blew force 3 that night with a temperature of -65.2° - next morning -60°. We made 2½ miles with the usual relaying, and camped at 8 p.m. with the temperature -65°. It really was a terrible march, and parts of both my feet were frozen at lunch.
1957 - International Geophysical Year (IGY) begins, it led to 12 nations establishing 50 bases in Antarctica, to widespread international co-operation and and then directly to the Antarctic Treaty.
