Traversing Antarctica: The Australian experience
http://www.naa.gov.au/visit-us/exhibitions/
Traversing Antarctica: the Australian experience celebrates the centenary of the Australasian Antarctic Expedition led by Douglas Mawson in 1911-14 and charts Australian involvement in, and fascination with, Antarctica up to the present day.
Our icy southern neighbour has fascinated explorers and scientists for over 100 years since the 1911–14 Australasian Antarctic Expedition led by Douglas Mawson. Delve into the scientific, historical, and cultural legacy of those who navigate the extreme conditions in the name of discovery.
The exhibition has been jointly developed by the National Archives of Australia, the Australian Antarctic Division and the Western Australian Museum.
The Australian Academy of Science has loaned this exhibition a number of historical items from its collection.
