| Summary: | Commander Lush will be remembered in the record of the Royal Society as one who played a distinguished role in the Society’s history of expeditions. He took a leading part in two of these. First from January 1956 to January 1957 when as a member of the advance party, under the leadership of Surgeon Commander David Dalgliesh, he participated in the setting up of the Society’s Antarctic geophysical research station, later named Halley Bay, as a contribution to the International Geophysical Year. The party, having sailed in MV Tottan made landfall in the southerly Weddell Sea where man had not trod before and in the severe Antarctic conditions, built the research station which has been the base of so much valuable geophysical work ever since. George Lush with all his skill and determination gave conspicuous service in this year’s operation. |
