British contributions to Antarctic exploration, 1891-1900
Antarctic history before 1900 has received scant attention from historians. Yet in the decade from 1891 to 1900 exploration revealed many scientific mysteries of the continent. Expeditions in the last decade of the nineteenth century produced important discoveries in biology, geology, geography, ter...

Antarctic history before 1900 has received scant attention from historians. Yet in the decade from 1891 to 1900 exploration revealed many scientific mysteries of the continent. Expeditions in the last decade of the nineteenth century produced important discoveries in biology, geology, geography, terrestrial magnetism, and meteorology. Among the adventurers discussed in this work are Carsten E. Borchgrevink, William S. Bruce, and Adrien de Gerlache. The British contributions are discussed in detail but the efforts of Belgian and Norwegian explorers are noted. The Southern Cross, Belgica, and Jason voyages are detailed.
