Stamps Mail is known from numerous Antarctic expeditions: Mawson in 1911 (used stamps of Tasmania), Shackleton in 1921-2 (used stamps of Britain), Mawson again in 1929-31 (used stamps of Australia), and the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) of 1947- 65. The Australian Antarctic Territory comprises all the islands and territory other than Adelie Land situated south of lat. The Post Office had no facilities for taking philatelic mail to Little America, so it was arranged for the Byrd Antarctic Expedition to take covers to the South Pole for a service charge of 50 cents per cover in addition to the postage rate of 3 cents, for which this special stamp was issued. www.skywatcher.com /rickpierce/stamps.htm   (1163 words)

National Archives of Australia - Fact Sheet 194 - Australian Antarctic exploration and research In 1947 the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) established sub-Antarctic stations at Macquarie and Heard Islands and at Mawson on the Antarctic continent. This was followed by the 1911 Australian Antarctic Expedition led by Douglas Mawson and the later British-Australia-New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE) of 1929 to 1931. The International Geophysical Year (IGY) of 1957 provided a year of combined research effort on Antarctica, and the background to the Antarctic treaty of 1959, which was to maintain international cooperation and peaceful research on the continent. www.naa.gov.au /Publications/fact_sheets/fs194.html   (1163 words)

The Official Launch of The Silence Calling ANARE Jubilee History The tale of ANARE, of Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions, is almost a repeat of a familiar Australian tale, of people plucked from their homes and transported across oceans to an alien land, where they create a microcosm of their home culture. It is not simply a culmination of many years of effort by Tim and his researchers, the Antarctic Division, the people of ANARE and the publishers. I have no doubt that ANARE expeditioners and others who are familiar with Mawson's incredible achievements, will be pleased to learn that these huts will be restored preserved as a tribute to our greatest Antarctic explorer. www.deh.gov.au /minister/ps/97/mc11jun97_silence.html   (358 words)

History of Macquarie Island Meteorological Office The observation program established by the Bureau of Meteorology in the Antarctic and sub-Antarctic has been one of the foundations upon which the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) has been based. One of the main arguments for the establishment of ANARE was that meteorological observations from the data-void Antarctic and Southern Ocean region to the south of Australia would improve our understanding of those weather systems that affect Australia (Marchant et al, 2002). However, prior to the formation of ANARE in 1947, Douglas Mawson established the first scientific station at Macquarie Island in 1911. www.bom.gov.au /weather/tas/macquarie/history.shtml   (184 words)
