Historical Antarctic Pictures and Events
Robert Falcon Scott, British Antarctic Expedition (South Pole Expedition) on the ship Terra Nova, 1910 - 1913.
1911 - Edward Evans observing an occultation of Jupiter. He is on the telephone to George Simpson, inside the hut, timing the event. High altitude, low temperature, long periods of darkness, and an exceptionally stable atmosphere make Antarctica an ideal place for astronomy.
