Paul Ellery sailed from Southampton in October 1963 on the British Antarctic Survey ship the RRS John Biscoe just a few days after his 19th birthday. The voyage lasted until May 1964 when the Biscoe returned to Southampton again via the Antarctic Peninsula, the Falkland Islands and South Georgia. Sadly he passed away in 2015, these pictures are part of a presentation he made of his own photographs from the trip, they appear here courtesy of his son Charles Ellery.
