Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Rich with photographs, colourful plates, scientific descriptions, anthropological and geographical observations, and general insights into expeditionary life, the Scientific Expedition Reports, housed in the University of Otago’s Special Collections, are a veritable mine of information. From the Arctic to the Antarctic, from Uganda to Patagonia, the earliest of the reports dates from D’Urville’s expedition in the <em>Astrolabe</em> from 1826 to 1829, published in 1832; the latest are from the University of Canterbury Snares Islands expeditions beginning in the 1960s. Men and women from New Zealand, Australia, Norway, France, Sweden, America, the United Kingdom, Canada, Denmark, China, Egypt and many more countries besides, have travelled the world by land and by sea in the name of science and exploration and have documented the results in these scientific reports. Many of the scientific observations made and specimens taken are still being researched today and despite the treacherous conditions and ever present risks, most members of these expeditionary parties returned alive. The Scientific Expedition Reports in Special Collections are a testament to and a record of humankind’s insatiable desire for knowledge.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The earliest scientific reports held in Special Collections are from the 1826-29 French voyage of<em> L’Astrolabe</em> led by Jules Dumont D’Urville (1790-1842). This information-gathering expedition hoped to build on the scientific knowledge gained by a previous French expedition of the 1820s led by Louis Duperrey. D’Urville was a keen scientist and his crew included three naturalists. Between them they collected numerous samples, including a male specimen of the already rare Orange-wattled crow (Glaucopis cinerea) or South Island Kokako. Declared extinct in 2008, this bird has not been definitively sighted since the 1960s.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
<em>L’Astrolabe</em> was a strong, three-masted warship. French naval officer, explorer and scientist, Dumont D’Urville sailed her south into the Pacific, visiting many places along the way. On the 28th January, 1827, D’Urville took the ship through the dangerous French Pass at the top of the South Island of New Zealand. Early that morning he had climbed a nearby bluff and had decided that ‘it could be navigated if great precautions were taken.’ This image captures the experience. The scientific observations made on this expedition furnished many volumes on topics such as zoology, meteorology and hydrographics to name but a few; some of the specimens collected are still housed in the Natural History Museum in Paris.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The Snares, a group of seven granitic islands about 200 kilometres from New Zealand, were first sighted by George Vancouver in 1791. The University of Canterbury constructed a ‘biological research station’ on Main Island in the 1960s and some of the resultant publications are among the last expedition reports in the collection. The author of this article, John Warham (1919-2010), led several expeditions to the archipelago. Warham was primarily an ornithologist who lectured on zoology at the University of Canterbury and used the trips as learning and research experiences for his students. He notes in this article how seal numbers were slowly recovering from the sealing boom of the early 19th century.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Of all the sub-Antarctic islands, the Snares are the ‘least modified’ by man through the introduction of non-native species of plants and animals. The earliest botanical survey of the islands, by well-known New Zealand botanist Thomas Kirk, dates back to the early 1890s. This paper, by University of Canterbury botanist Professor Brian Fineran, is based on research carried out in the Snares in 1961. Researchers studied not only the zoology and botany but also the geology, geography and meteorology of the region. The Snares are now a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Joseph Dalton Hooker (1817-1911), assistant surgeon and botanist of the <em>Erebus</em> and <em>Terror</em> expedition, wrote in his ‘Summary’ that this scientific voyage was the ‘most important and interesting’ since Captain Cook’s. The two sail-only ships, captained by Sir James Clark Ross, left England on the 30th September, 1839. Over the next four and a half years they visited Antarctica three times in the search for the magnetic South Pole, reaching further south than any other ship ever had. On a hiatus trip to the Bay of Islands, a New Zealand kingfisher specimen was collected (called <em>Halcyon vagans</em> in this image and now known as <em>Todiramphus sanctus</em>). This feisty and colourful little bird lives on a diet of fish, insects, and small mammals.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The voyage of the HMS <em>Samarang</em> was initiated by the British Royal Navy to explore and survey the ‘Islands and Islanders of the Eastern Hemisphere’. Under the command of irascible captain, Sir Edward Belcher (1799-1877) the Samarang visited Borneo, Brunei, Hong Kong, Singapore, Manila and Japan. However the ship was forbidden to approach China or any of its territories. This plate showing <em>Galidictis vittata</em>, a species of mongoose from the island of Madagascar, was drawn by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins (b. 1807). Hawkins was a famed natural history artist who also provided artwork for Darwin’s <em>Beagle</em> expedition publications.

The Austro-Hungarian naval frigate, <em>Novara</em>, set sail from Trieste (now in Italy) on the 30th April, 1857. The 345-strong crew and seven scientific staff were charged with making oceanographic, hydrographic and geomagnetic observations on their circuitous trip around the world. The ship covered almost 84,000 kilometres and the scientists collected about 25,000 specimens – some of which are still being studied today. Among the items brought back were the leaves of a cocaine plant, from which the first pure cocaine was extracted in 1860; and this species of rock lobster from off the coast of Australia.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Rich with photographs, colourful plates, scientific descriptions, anthropological and geographical observations, and general insights into expeditionary life, the Scientific Expedition Reports, housed in the University of Otago’s Special Collections, are a veritable mine of information. From the Arctic to the Antarctic, from Uganda to Patagonia, the earliest of the reports dates from D’Urville’s expedition in the <em>Astrolabe</em> from 1826 to 1829, published in 1832; the latest are from the University of Canterbury Snares Islands expeditions beginning in the 1960s. Men and women from New Zealand, Australia, Norway, France, Sweden, America, the United Kingdom, Canada, Denmark, China, Egypt and many more countries besides, have travelled the world by land and by sea in the name of science and exploration and have documented the results in these scientific reports. Many of the scientific observations made and specimens taken are still being researched today and despite the treacherous conditions and ever present risks, most members of these expeditionary parties returned alive. The Scientific Expedition Reports in Special Collections are a testament to and a record of humankind’s insatiable desire for knowledge.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Ferdinand von Hochstetter (1829-84) was the geologist aboard the <em>Novara</em> and stayed in New Zealand when the ship turned for home. During his nine month sojourn, Hochstetter travelled widely with German Julius Haast (1822-87) and made geological observations and recordings en route. In this English language edition of his travel chronicle, Hochstetter calls the country ‘one of the most remarkable’ in the world. Hochstetter returned to Trieste in January 1860 and has come to be known by some as the ‘Father of New Zealand Geology’.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Indian-born English doctor, Alfred Alcock (1859-1933), became Surgeon-Naturalist to the Indian Marine Survey in 1888. The survey’s intentions, aboard <em>Investigator</em>, were to safeguard the coastal lines of navigation and to study the hydrography of the basins in the Arabian and Andaman Seas and the Bay of Bengal. Deep-sea dredging operations gathered specimens of natural history during the expedition, like this <em>Raia philipi</em>, or Aden ringed skate which is from the Gulf of Aden in the Arabian Sea.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
In May 1894, five scientists, four camel-drivers, ‘two collectors, two prospectors, one aboriginal tracker and one cook’ set off on a 2000-kilometre trip into uncharted Australian territory, 1000 kilometres north of Adelaide. Financed by mining magnate, farmer, and politician, William Austin Horn, the expedition party travelled for three months collecting and describing newly discovered species of mammals and fish. They also made geological, botanical and anthropological observations with the help of the local aboriginal tribes – the Arrernte and Luritja peoples. These rock drawings were recorded by the expedition party en route – the painting in the top left depicts an emu sitting on her eggs.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Captain Carl Frederik Wandel (1843-1930) was leader of the Danish Deep-Sea Expedition in the North Atlantic. Two four-month trips took place during the summer months of 1895 and 1896. While the main objective of the expedition was to collect zoological specimens, like the ones in this image, the scientists aboard the three-masted schooner <em>Ingolf</em> recorded other scientific data. They took soundings and water samples; measured currents and chloride levels; explored the fjords around Iceland and the underwater North Atlantic ridge – said to be the ‘most important submarine faunal barrier anywhere in the deep sea’ (Wolff, 1997).

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
English publisher Sir George Newnes gave Norwegian explorer, Carsten Borchgrevink, £40,000 (almost four million in today’s money) to fund the 1898 voyage of the three-masted barque, <em>Southern Cross</em>. It was an expedition of ‘firsts’ in Antarctica: the first to use dogs; the first to erect buildings; the first expedition party to ‘overwinter’ on the continental mainland; and unfortunately (after the death of zoologist Nicolai Hanson from beriberi) the first to bury a body there. Despite no support from the British scientific establishment and only returning with ‘meagre scientific results’, the expedition proved that overwintering on the continent was a possibility. Specimens, like the Weddell Seal, pictured here, were sent back to England in brine.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Rich with photographs, colourful plates, scientific descriptions, anthropological and geographical observations, and general insights into expeditionary life, the Scientific Expedition Reports, housed in the University of Otago’s Special Collections, are a veritable mine of information. From the Arctic to the Antarctic, from Uganda to Patagonia, the earliest of the reports dates from D’Urville’s expedition in the <em>Astrolabe</em> from 1826 to 1829, published in 1832; the latest are from the University of Canterbury Snares Islands expeditions beginning in the 1960s. Men and women from New Zealand, Australia, Norway, France, Sweden, America, the United Kingdom, Canada, Denmark, China, Egypt and many more countries besides, have travelled the world by land and by sea in the name of science and exploration and have documented the results in these scientific reports. Many of the scientific observations made and specimens taken are still being researched today and despite the treacherous conditions and ever present risks, most members of these expeditionary parties returned alive. The Scientific Expedition Reports in Special Collections are a testament to and a record of humankind’s insatiable desire for knowledge.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Sixty years after Charles Darwin and Robert FitzRoy made the fossil fauna of South America known to the world, John Bell Hatcher (d. 1904), Princeton University’s curator of vertebrate palaeontology, led three expeditions to Patagonia, from 1896 to 1899. After arriving in Patagonia with the help of the Argentinian navy, Hatcher and his team travelled largely on horseback with a wagon to carry supplies and specimens. The primary objective was to research the geology and palaeontology of the region, but all manner of animal and plant species were collected. Such was the extent of the specimens gathered that some of the reports for the expedition were still being written thirty years later.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
On the 6th August, 1901 <em>Discovery</em>, the first purpose-built research and exploration vessel since Edmond Halley’s <em>Paramore</em> (c. 1700), left the Isle of Wight bound for Antarctica. At the helm was Robert Falcon Scott and amongst the crew was one Ernest Shackleton. The expedition’s objectives were geographic exploration, magnetic surveys and research into the meteorology, oceanography and biota of the region. While on the ice, the food and clothing of the expedition proved insufficient with each team member suffering frostbite and some even scurvy. Despite the fact that Scott was not scientifically trained, he made sure ‘the modest scientific programme was completed’ (Bryan, 2011). This specimen of demosponge, <em>Craniella sagitta</em>, would have been dredged from the ocean floor.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Experienced polar scientist Scot William Speirs Bruce applied to lead the <em>Discovery</em> Expedition of 1901, but was unsuccessful so he organised his own – the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition. Bruce, his Samoyed dog Russ, scientists and crew left Scotland aboard<em> Scotia</em> in November 1902. The research team made scientific observations on the voyage down to Antarctica and while icebound for eight months in 1903, near the South Orkney Islands, they built a weather station. Now known as Base Orcadas, the station is administered by Argentina and has been in continuous operation since its inception. The expedition, a resounding scientific success, was ultimately overshadowed by Scott and Shackleton’s<em> Discovery</em> expedition. Above are some photographs of ‘Isopods’ by Bruce – just some of over one thousand he took while on the trip.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Captain ‘Titus’ Oates and Robert Falcon Scott, along with three others, perished on the ill-fated return journey from the South Pole in March 1912. Described as ‘overambitious, over-complex and overmanned’ (Bryan, 2011), the 1910-1913 British Antarctic Expedition aboard <em>Terra Nova</em>, was beaten to the Pole by the much better prepared Norwegian, Roald Amundsen. Despite this failure, the expedition garnered a great deal of scientific information which helped to furnish publications for the next 50 years. Emerald rock cod (<em>Trematomus bernacchii</em>) and striped rock cod (<em>T. hansoni</em>) are named for Louis Bernacchi and Nicolai Hanson – Antarctic explorers both.
