Historians
The history of Antarctica and its surrounding islands is rich in triumph and tragedy. Tales of exploration, shipping, and whaling seem to inhabit every corner of the Peninsula. Stories of brave men and women who sought to put new names on the global map: Shackleton, Charcot, Bellinghausen and Palmer. The history of the last continent is the stuff of legends. Our team historians love to recount these great sagas especially while ashore in the thick of things, retracing the routes and trials of explorers or visiting an abandoned whaling station. Tales from the past help us understand Antarctica's personality while learning more ourselves as modern day explorers.
