1935réf. 186607Little America Antarctica: 1935. One of the 153217 pieces of mail brought to Antarctica during the Second Byrd Antarctic Expedition and mailed back to the US. Members of the public could pay 53 cents to have their mail bearing a specially produced stamp and postmark brought south on the expedition's ships and cancelled at Little America. Envelopes were sent from America in two batches. A representative of the postmaster general arrived in Little America in late 1934 with a cancelling machine and the second batch set up a post office and processed all the mail ready for return. "Cancelled mail was wrapped in waterproof paper packed in cartons encased in two heavy mail sacks and locked. It was then stored in a tent outdoors waiting to be loaded on to the next ship. Determined to cancel all the mail Anderson slept only eighteen hours in sixteen days" "Byrd Antarctic Issue". This example was paid for by Sibyl Ann Schaeffer 1899-1971 of Helena Montana and addressed to her mother's address nearby. The enclosed letter is to her young children: "It is great fun to tell you from the 'bottom' of the World that I love you more than I can ever tell you." Accompanying the message is a typewritten poem "Grapenut Cocktail with Cold Byrd." Stamped and franked expedition cover 93 x 165 mm with accompanying letter on 2 onionskin sheets 280 x 215 mm each typed one side only first sheet with handwritten message.

1957réf. 186938Japan: Koide Nobuhirosha c. 1957. A charming set of playing cards based on the film Nankyoku Tairiku "The South Pole" recounting the story of the 1956-57 Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition. The cards show scenes of penguins the research ship Soya and the expedition members. In 1955 the Japanese government announced plans to send a research group to Antarctica in the following year. A team of 53 scientists led by Professor Nagata Takeshi set off on 8 November 1956 the first time Japan had explored the south pole since the early 1900s. They set up the Syowa Station on East Ongul Island before being emergency airlifted out of a storm. A documentary film focusing on the expedition was released in June 1957 directed by Hayashida Shigeo and titled Nihon nankyoku chiiki kansokutai no kiroku: Nankyoku Tairiku. This game was released to complement the film. Karuta is a traditional Japanese matching game where each pictorial card is assigned a letter of the Japanese alphabet and must be paired with an associated poem sentence or proverb. The player who can make the most matches wins. 90 playing cards 61 x 81 mm landscape or portrait 45 with colour photographic illustrations on one side 45 lettered in black on one side.

1906réf. ANTARCTI024617William Blackwood Edinburgh and London. 1906. First edition. Prefatory Note by William S. Bruce. Octavo. pp xxiv 375. Numerous black-and-white photographs; two folding maps one at rear. Original slate-grey pictorial cloth lettered in white. An account of the Scottish Antarctic Expedition 1902-1905. Peter Speak author of William Speirs Bruce: Polar Explorer and Scottish Nationalist 2003 describes the expedition as "by far the most cost-effective and carefully planned scientific expedition of the Heroic Age" and yet it received no formal honour or recognition from the British government and its members were denied even the prestigious Polar Medal. A major achievement of the expedition was the cataloguing of more than 1100 species of animal life 212 of them previously unknown to science. R.H. Rudmose Brown was the chief botanist. Presentation copy inscribed on the half-title page: "With the kind regards of R.N. Rudmose Brown" and with a short inscription on the headed notepaper of The University Sheffield: "To Mr Hendrickson with happy memories of a day in Green Harbour - R N Rudmose Brown". The recipient Peder Leonard Henrickson 1859-1932 was a harpooner and because of his extensive experience of hunting in Arctic waters was taken on by Fridjof Nansen for the 1893-6 Norwegian Polar Expedition on board the Fram. J. Arthur Bain in his Fridtjof Nansen: His Life and Explorations 1895 describes him thus: "He is a tall square-built man of exceptional physical powers which have often been severely tested. When off Novaya Zemlya in 1888 the schooner Enigheden of Christiansund on which he was harpooner became a total wreck. The storm continuing he was compelled to remain on deck for several days during which he was literally encased in ice. He at last managed to crawl ashore and report says 'was able to thaw and dry his clothes.' His herculean strength has enabled him to endure all hardships and he entered on his latest voyage with an iron constitution and strong resolve." Green Harbour or Gr�nfjorden in Norwegian lies on the southern side of Isfjorden on Spitsbergen's west coast. Rudmose Brown published a book Spitsbergen: An Account of Exploration Hunting the Mineral Riches & Future Potentialities of an Arctic Archipelago 1920 and presumably he met Hendricksen during the course of his researches. Most of the white enamel lettering on the spine had flaked off but is intact together with the illustration on the upper cover. Three closed tears to the folds of the last large map about 5-6cm each. Bump to top corner of front cover. Top corner of the text block of the first few pages slightly bumped. Overall a very good copy indeed. William Blackwood, Edinburgh and London. hardcover

1963réf. 237791963. Operation Deep Freeze U.S. Navy photo archive documenting the preparation and execution of the first flight from Africa to Antarctica September 27 to October 1 1963 a 4700-mile airlift that demonstrated the expanding reach of the American Antarctic logistics network. The flight occurred as the United States was transforming its Antarctic presence from the expeditionary operations of the International Geophysical Year into a permanent scientific program dependent upon military transportation and infrastructure. Photographed principally by Lt. jg H. S. Hemphill for Task Force Forty Three the archive follows two VX 6 LC 130F Hercules aircraft through preparations in South Africa the flight to Antarctica and arrival at McMurdo Station. The aircraft departed Cape Town on September 30 carrying 9600 gallons of fuel each and weighing approximately 10000 pounds above their usual operating weight; after 14 hours and 26 minutes they reached McMurdo where Rear Admiral James R. Reedy formally opened Deep Freeze 64 operations on October 1. Photo archive of 17 silver gelatin photographs approximately 4 x 5 inches Cape Town South Africa aboard VX 6 LC 130F aircraft and McMurdo Station Antarctica September 27 to October 1 1963; with the U.S. Naval Support Force Antarctica pamphlet Antarctic Highlights Washington 1969. The photographs form a contemporary visual record of the first Cape Town-to-McMurdo flight from ground preparation through arrival with Navy captions identifying personnel aircraft and stages of the operation. At Cape Town crews remove unnecessary equipment and clothing to reduce aircraft weight test communications inspect fuel systems and prepare the 3600-gallon auxiliary tank required to extend the range of the LC 130F. James P. Houghton appears beside the tank; Claude C. Stanley and John E. Wood inspect aircraft 148318 before departure. A crew portrait identifies Andrew C. Huggins William B. Kurlak John D. Stitch Thomas H. Dunn M. E. Westlund Robert Wolcott George H. Fuller E. R. Simpson Jack H. Tankersley and Houghton. In flight Staff Sergeant Arthur L. Kreing works over navigation charts Alan F. Blanchard and Richard A. Millington play cards and other crewmen rest receive oxygen and change into cold-weather clothing as the aircraft approaches Antarctica. One image captioned "The morning after Cairo" shows John Wood administering oxygen to Chief Claude C. Stanley while Chief Earl D. Gordinier waits nearby. At McMurdo Hemphill records Rear Admiral Reedy leaving the aircraft after the 4700-mile flight and being met by Commander R. R. McGregor of Antarctic Support and wintering commander Robert Marvel. The accompanying Antarctic Highlights pamphlet describes the Navy's Antarctic stations aircraft ships communications power systems and support of scientific work. The flight came only a few years after the International Geophysical Year of 1957 to 1958 and two years after the Antarctic Treaty entered into force. Sustaining the expanding American scientific presence required a logistical system capable of moving personnel equipment fuel and supplies across thousands of miles into one of the world's least accessible regions. The Cape Town-to-McMurdo flight demonstrated that the Navy's developing LC 130 airlift system could reach Antarctica directly from Africa as well as through the established New Zealand approach. Hemphill's photographs consequently document more than an aviation first: they record the military transportation infrastructure that helped transform American activity in Antarctica from periodic expeditions into sustained scientific operations. Slight curling to the photographs with contemporary verso annotations intact; photographs overall in very good condition and pamphlet in good condition. unknown

The 116 mounted color transparencies constitute early professional color press coverage of Antarctica and retain Baum's handwritten captions exposure notes and distribution markings from The New York Times Monkmeyer Press and Rapho Guillumette. The captions identify McMurdo Station the South Pole Scott Base Cape Royds Cape Evans Lake Bonney the Taylor Dry Valley Ross Sea pressure ridges Weddell seal research Navy C 130 transport helicopter support dog teams trail parties and United States Antarctic Research Program vehicles. A memorandum dated September 28 1962 addressed to Harrison Salisbury Walter Sullivan and John Nedea outlines possible coverage of the 1962 to 1963 National Science Foundation Antarctic program including the PM 3A nuclear reactor at McMurdo biological research and the Dry Valleys. The reactor began operating in 1962 and the archive places that project within the larger system of aircraft vehicles mobile structures and field labor required to sustain American research in Antarctica. Baum's memoir broadens the record beyond the polar assignment. Its chapters discuss the shift from Speed Graphic cameras to 35 mm equipment the development of modern photojournalism and his reporting in postwar Europe including the Berlin Airlift and British military administration in occupied Germany. Transparency mounts with extensive handling and editorial markings; clippings toned and unevenly cut; prints with edge wear creasing abrasions and occasional minor losses; memoir and papers toned from use. Overall in fair to good condition. A working archive of Antarctic logistics Cold War science and midcentury newspaper photography seen through the field practice of Allyn Z. Baum. unknown
