It reads: 'Antarctic Crossing The autograph of Sir Vivian Fuchs The first crossing of the Antarctic continent was completed at 1.47 p.m. on 2 March 1958 after a 2158 mile trek lasting 99 days from 24th Nov. 1957 from Shackleton Base to Scott Base via the Pole. The crossing party of twelve was led by Dr. now Sir Vivian Ernest Fuchs born 11th Feb 1908 As you can see in the picture it is of the R.R.S. Shackleton and that is why I got Sir Vivian Fuchs to autograph it.' Anthony Tucker in his Guardian obituary 13 November 1999 summed up Fuchs's achievements: 'Famous as the leader of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition of 1957-58 during which he met Sir Edmund Hillary at the South Pole and carried out research which established the existence of a huge continental land mass beneath the polar ice cap Sir Vivian Fuchs . was one of the great adventurers scientist-explorers and expedition organisers of our time. He was director of the Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey from its creation in 1947 and from 1958-73 the continuing director of its successor the British Antarctic Survey BAS. His life spanned a period of massive transition in the nature and purposes of exploration.' No place or date. unknown
