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.
Austrian doctor Ludwig Redtenbacher was the entomologist aboard the <em>Novara</em> expedition of 1857 to 1859. He was especially interested in the order <em>Coleoptera</em>, or beetles. The ship circumnavigated the globe and Redtenbacher had many opportunities to indulge his passion. Beetles make up 25 percent of all the known creatures on the planet, of which the above are just a few examples. Note fig. 1 is a specimen of <em>Polyacanthia flavipes</em> (syn. <em>Diastamerus tomentosus</em>) – a native New Zealand longhorn beetle.

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.

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.
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.

Scientists collected 2400 water samples, made almost 3000 temperature observations, and took soundings of the depths. The crew trawled for specimens; in all 100 new species were discovered. Thorolv Rasmussen was the ship’s artist and was ‘continually engaged in making drawings and sketches on board’, like these.<em> Alepocephalus macropterus</em> (longfin smooth-head), <em>A. rostratus</em> (Risso’s smooth-head), and <em>Chimaera mirabilis</em> (large-eyed rabbit fish) are just three fish species picked up by the deep-sea trawls.

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.
Wellington-born anthropologist, Diamond Jenness (1886-1969) graduated from Victoria University in Wellington before going on to study at Balliol College in Oxford. It was while he was in New Zealand recovering from yellow fever he had contracted on an expedition to Papua New Guinea that he was approached by the National Museum of Canada to join Vilhjalmur Stefansson and the Canadian Arctic Expedition (1913-1918).

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
In February and March of 1898, HMCS <em>Thetis</em> trawled the sea off the coast of New South Wales. Funded by the Colonial Government, the expedition was more commercially than scientifically motivated; however many new species were discovered and collected. This <em>Alcyonium</em> specimens come from a genus of soft corals. The zoologist aboard <em>Thetis </em>was Edgar Ravenswood Waite (1866-1928). Waite became the curator of the Canterbury Museum in New Zealand in 1906 and accompanied Sir Douglas Mawson on the Australasian Antarctic Expedition from 1911 to 1914

The <em>Challenger</em> expedition departed from Portsmouth, England and this map shows the route of the first part of the journey. Along the way the crew were engaged in dredging, trawling and sounding operations. <em>Challenger</em> visited Lisbon, Gibraltar, the West Indies, Nova Scotia, Brazil, Tristan da Cunha, South Africa, Antarctica, Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific and Marianas Islands, Japan, Hawaii, Chile and Tierra del Fuego. While in the Marianas region in early 1875, the <em>Challenger</em> crew sounded the Mariana Trench; the first people to do so. They recorded a depth of just over eight kilometres. The trench, in the Pacific Ocean, is the deepest the world over.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
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.
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.
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.
Douglas Mawson, an Australian geologist, was a key figure, with Scott, Amundsen and Shackleton, in the so-called ‘Heroic Age’ (1900-1917) of Antarctic exploration. Mawson and his crew, including Dunedin man and trouble-maker Leslie Whetter (second from left in Fig. 1 here), left Tasmania in December 1911, aboard the barque <em>Aurora</em> for this expedition. Whetter had attended Otago Boys High School and while being corporally punished, for poor hand-writing, punched the teacher in the mouth. He graduated from Otago Medical School and became assistant surgeon on Mawson’s expedition. The two ‘locked horns’ as Whetter was an idle layabout who continually shirked his expedition duties. On the expedition’s return, WWI had already broken out. True-to-form, Whetter did all he could to avoid his conscription in 1917.

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.

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.
Swedish geographer and explorer, Sven Hedin (b. 1865), was getting old when he organised the Sino-Swedish Expedition to Mongolia, Xinjiang and the Gobi Desert beginning in 1927. Hedin facilitated the expedition which included over 30 scientists from several countries including China. The main aim of the expedition was geological but also included archaeological, meteorological and topographical researches. Danish anthropologist, Henning Haslund-Christensen, recorded the music and songs of the Mongol people for his part in the expedition. In one of his photographs (see bottom right) a Mongol man sings ‘a song about horses to his horse’. The instrument being played is known as a horse-head fiddle and only has two strings.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Oceanographer Hans Pettersson (d. 1966) was the scientific leader of the round-the-world Swedish Deep-Sea Expedition which began in July 1947. Unsupported by the Swedish government, the expedition was privately funded and the vessel,<em> Albatross</em>, was loaned from shipping magnate Major Herbert Jacobsson. The expedition spent fifteen months sailing close to the Equator in a bid to stay within a ‘fair-weather region’ and avoid the high seas which could hamper the retrieval of core samples from the depths of the ocean. Pettersson’s scientific team also took water samples, made temperature recordings and echograms of the ocean floor. This map shows the route<em> Albatross</em> took.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Hans Pettersson wrote one of the objectives of the Swedish Deep-Sea Expedition was that by studying the depths of the ocean ‘many obscure chapters in the past history of our planet would stand revealed to science’. Using newly developed scientific techniques and instruments, he and his crew were able to obtain 20 metre core samples from the bottom of the ocean. The levels of the ‘radioactive timekeepers’, uranium and radium, in these samples were used as a ‘means of measuring the age of the different strata of sediment and the rate of deposition’ (Pettersson, 1953). An on-board electric winch was used to lower and raise the core sampling equipment; it took up to four hours to take a sample from 6000 metres deep.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Arnhem Land (named after 17th century explorer Jan Carstensz’s ship, <em>Arnhem</em>) in the northeast of the Northern Territories of Australia was, still in the 1940s, largely unknown. This expedition team, led by ethnologist, photographer and film maker, Charles Mountford (d. 1976), spent nine months in the region. A collaboration between the National Geographic Society of America and the Australian government, the group consisted of 17 men and women who studied a wide range of ‘interlocking fields of natural history, medical science and ethnology’ (Mountford, 1956). These shells are from Yirrkalla (on the mainland) and Groote Eylandt (an island) – both on the Gulf of Carpentaria. They were ‘casually’ gathered by expedition team members.

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.
