Encyclopedia: History of Antarctica The ice shelf was 200 metres thick and had a surface area of 3,250 square kilometres. Larsen iceshelves marked in red The Larsen Ice Shelf (67°30′ S 062°30′ W) is a long, fringing ice shelf in the northwest part of the Weddell Sea, extending along the east coast of Antarctic Peninsula from Cape Longing to the area just southward of Hearst Island. (2,120 square statute mile) Iceberg B-22 broke off from the Thwaites Ice Tongue and the Larsen B ice-shelf on the Antarctic Peninsula, and shattered into small fragments. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/History-of-Antarctica   (3345 words)

MOUNTAIN MADNESS EXPEDITION MT VINSON, ANTARCTICA Unbeknownst to them De Gerlache and Cook had planned all along to winter over in the pack ice and become the first to undertake such a such a grim proposition. Soon the flat icy expanse surrounding Patriot Hills and the Ronne Ice Shelf gave way to the Ellsworth Mountains. Although we were roped, the Branscomb Glacier here was crevasse free and the route presented no dangers with the exception of one avalanche area where ice blocks the size of houses littered the way. www.k2news.com /mmv01.htm   (4559 words)

Home It is over 3000 kilometres south of New Zealand and takes in Ross Island, the Ross Sea, the Ross Ice Shelf, the Transantarctic Mountains and part of the continent extending to the South Pole. Shackleton's ship, the Endurance, was crushed by ice in the Weddell Sea, forcing the crew to camp on ice floes and then make an epic journey in an open boat to get help. Captain Cook's expedition in 1773 circumnavigated Antarctica in two tiny ships and although he suspected land existed, he did not sight it. www.anta.canterbury.ac.nz /resources/history.html   (1577 words)

Navy News - News Desk - Features - Surveys test Endurance Moving further south past the first ice bergs, HMS Endurance entered the pack ice and broke her way through to the Filchner Ice Shelf where she was joined by the British Antarctic Survey vessel Ernest Shackleton. After passage through the Douglas Strait which looks like a flooded volcano, between Thule and Cook islands, she dropped 12 men at the aptly-named Bleaker Island to survey uncharted waters alone for six weeks. As Navy News went to press the ship was due to visit the remote island of Tristan Da Cunha where the Royal Navy has been helping to construct a new harbour after the old one was destroyed by lava flows from the volcano. www.navynews.co.uk /articles/2000/0003/0000033107.asp   (379 words)

MSN Encarta - Antarctica Ross charted the volcanic island and the massive ice shelf that now bear his name; he also discovered present-day Victoria Land and located the south magnetic pole, which at that time was positioned among Victoria Land’s mountains. The Swedish National Expedition from 1901 to 1904 set up a base on Snow Hill Island on the eastern flank of the Antarctic Peninsula; despite losing their ship in the pack ice, the crew explored the area north and south of the island. Sealers of many nations, who had been exploring Antarctic and subantarctic (lying just north of the Antarctic Convergence) islands and waters since Cook’s voyage, had sighted the South Shetland Islands, other parts of the Antarctic Peninsula, and the South Orkney Islands by the early 1820s. encarta.msn.com /encyclopedia_761565002_2/Antarctica.html   (379 words)

NOVA Online Shackleton's Voyage of Endurance Mapping Terra Incognita (5) PBS Captain James Clark Ross launched the HMS Erebus and Terror on an epic four-year adventure, reaching a farthest south of 78º17'S and finding the sea, ice shelf, and island that now bear his name, yet failing in his principal object of locating the South Magnetic Pole. The publication of Cook's journals penned during his now-legendary voyages triggered a fevered rush to the Southern Ocean by explorers and whale and seal hunters. With fleeting glimpses of the continent's coastlines, Thaddeus von Bellingshausen, John Biscoe, James Weddell, Nathaniel Palmer, Peter Kemp, and John Balleny contributed new pieces to the sketchy Antarctic puzzle seen here. www.pbs.org /wgbh/nova/shackleton/surviving/mapping5.html   (175 words)

Other things to have on hand: a cocktail shaker, a set of each bar measures and measuring spoons, corkscrew, toothpicks, cocktail sticks, an ample supply of cocktail napkins (save the ones with the dirty limmericks and nudie cartoons for poker night) and a sturdy, powerful blender. www.modernman.com /food/94-1.html   (927 words)

New Zealand New Zealand is a long, thin country on a wide continental shelf, North and South Islands would be joined together, if the sea level was lower, as actually happened during the ice ages. Long before Captain James Cook landed in New Zealand, on the magnificent ship 'Endeavour', there were many established settlements of the various Maori tribes. The Maoris arrived in New Zealand about a thousand years ago and called the country 'Aotearoa', which means 'Land of the Long White Cloud'; which applies to clouds over the mountain chains, or snow on the peaks, as observed from the sea as Maori canoes approched. www.geocities.com /Heartland/Stream/2787/newzealand.html   (927 words)

Avoiding Bad Eggs aHealthyAdvantage If you want to be safer, use pasteurized eggs in any raw-egg food (like Caesar salad dressing, eggnog, homemade ice cream, as well as cake batters and cookie dough that the kids eat). Refrigerating your eggs will keep any bacteria present from multiplying, but the only way to kill the microbes is to cook them thoroughly. If you store your eggs in the coldest part of the refrigerator (usually the bottom shelf) in their original carton, they'll stay fresh for about three weeks. www.ahealthyadvantage.com /topic/eggsafety   (501 words)

Antarctica. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001 The Weddell Sea border of E Antarctica was seen first by Bruce (1904), and it was later explored by the German expedition of Dr. Wilhelm Filchner, discoverer of the Filchner Ice Shelf, whose ship was beset and drifted in the Weddell Sea through the winter of 1912 before being released. Antarctica’s frigid nature was revealed by the second voyage (1772–75) of the English explorer Capt. James Cook. The U.S. Antarctic Service Expedition (1939–41), directed by Byrd, introduced the notion of permanent bases, one of which was set up at the Bay of Whales and another on Stonington Island W of the Antarctic Peninsula. www.bartleby.com /65/an/Antarctica.html   (666 words)

Antarctic Explorers - EnchantedLearning.com Antarctica: James Ross led an Antarctic expedition (1839-43), commanding the "Erebus" while his friend Francis Crozier commanded the "Terror." Ross charted much of the coastline and in 1841 discovered the Ross Sea, and the Victoria Barrier, which was later renamed the Ross Ice Shelf. Cook's first journey was from 1768 to 1771, when he sailed to Tahiti in order to observe Venus as it passed between the Earth and the Sun (in order to try to determine the distance between the Earth and the Sun). James Weddell (1787 -1834) was an English explorer, naturalist, geographer, and sealer who sailed on three expeditions to the Antarctic (in the years 1820-21, 1821-22 and 1822-23). www.enchantedlearning.com /explorers/antarctica.shtml   (3428 words)

Antarctic History Since he was only a few miles from the coast of Antarctica each time, the ice shelf was undoubtedly the one that rims the Princess Astrid Coast. Ironically, it was Cook's own penchant for thoroughness that fueled the burst of activity that followed his voyage; he had noted in his log the large numbers of seals and whales he observed in the high latitudes. The French Expedition, under Jean-Baptiste Charcot, settled in for the austral winter of 1904 in a bay on the coast of Booth Island, near 65°S on the western side of Graham Land. www.mastromedia.com /antarctica/history/history.htm   (3428 words)

The Frederick A. Cook Society The 1999 camp discovery suggests that Kruger and his party made it back to Axel Heiberg (thus discounting earlier theories that they had perished on the Polar ice cap) and that they had to abandon their camp in a quick snowstorm and may have perished in the proximity. Stefansson in 1916, at the latitude and longitude given by Cook, saw the island in the direction Cook had recorded sighting land (which he [Cook] believed was Axel Heiberg Island). On July 3, 1999 three members of the Polar Continental Shelf Project of the Natural Resources of Canada were surveying shorelines on Axel Heiberg Island between Cape Southwest and Surprise Fiord. www.cookpolar.org /meighan.htm   (666 words)
