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.
When Tristan da Cunha was first permanently settled at the beginning of the 19th century, birds were plentiful but their ‘lack of escape-reaction’ and ‘total lack of fear’ culminated in several species being ‘eaten out of existence’ (Lovegrove, 2012). Fortunately much of the damage caused by animal grazing and over-harvesting is now being reversed. Zoologist Yngvar Hagen from the University of Oslo began the ornithological survey for this expedition on the three larger islands of the archipelago – Tristan da Cunha, Nightingale, and Inaccessible. Despite being hampered by rough weather and the difficulties of accessing bird nesting sites, Hagen collected 210 specimens of 26 species. This volume is the result of his observations.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The southern right whale (<em>Eubalaena australis</em>) population around New Zealand was almost annihilated during the commercial whaling boom of the 18th and 19th centuries. Numbers are slowly increasing and there are now about 2000 in New Zealand waters. In the winter of 2011, the Marine Science Department of the University of Otago visited the Auckland Islands, aboard RV <em>Polaris II</em>, to conduct ‘the first systematic line-transect survey of potential right whale calving habitat’ (Rayment, et al., 2012). This article is the culmination of the research conducted.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
As well as ‘keeping an eye out’ for German warships, the expedition teams on Campbell and Auckland Islands provided daily weather reports while collecting scientific data on the environment and wildlife. Naturalist Jack Sorensen recorded information on the elephant seals of Campbell Islands. His paper was published by the Cape Expedition Reports Committee in 1950. Numbers of elephant seals had been greatly depleted in the islands of the Southern Pacific Ocean during the height of the sealing industry in the 19th century. However in the early 1940s Sorensen found that the population on Campbell Island had recovered somewhat – ‘So plentiful are the animals now…that the shores are never entirely deserted’.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Tristan da Cunha is situated in the South Atlantic, halfway between South Africa and South America. It is the most remote but inhabited island in the world. Led by botanist Erling Christophersen, the 1937-1938 Norwegian Scientific Expedition to the island also had a zoologist, algologist, surveyor, dentist, doctor and sociologist, Peter Munch. Through a series of interviews and observations, Munch gathered information about the island’s human inhabitants. He found a hospitable population descended from only eight men and seven women of ‘widely different nationalities’. The islanders were farmers and all their land was held in common. Munch describes this socially and culturally isolated people as an ‘absolutely co-operative unit based on the principle of equality of individuals’.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The motivation of the TAE was to further scientific research in the region. In this publication, Fuchs describes the expedition as an ‘exploratory journey’ and says that ‘advances in various scientific disciplines indicated a need for further knowledge of the interior of the continent’. Fuchs was a geologist and he led a team of scientists who collected data on the hundred day trek. Gravity measurements and seismic soundings (to establish a ‘sub-ice profile’) were made; studies of the glaciology and phytoplankton were carried out; research was conducted into the geomorphology, petrology and geochemistry on the ice to discover whether the ice itself had depleted over the centuries. The back of this volume lists all the publications that were available for purchase.

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.
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.
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.
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.
The BANZARE team left London aboard <em>Discovery</em> in August 1929. Led by Australian Sir Douglas Mawson, the primary objective of the trip south to Antarctica was to ‘plant the Union Jack’. Two forays into the Antarctic region at 45 to 160 degrees East longitude were made in the summers of 1929 and 1930. The land was unexplored and uncharted. Mawson and his team named various areas, proclaiming the land for Britain by hoisting the flag and leaving behind caskets with the proclamation inside. Despite ‘territorial claims’ being the main reason for the expedition, many oceanographic, zoological, and scientific observations were made along the way. (Note in Fig. 1, Dunedin features on the map.)

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.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
‘Cape Expedition’ was the code name for the New Zealand government’s coast-watching scheme initiated during WWII. Groups of up to five men were posted on several islands in the South Pacific to act as ‘eyes and ears’ for the government who were suspicious that Germans were using sub-Antarctic islands as bases. Among the men who set up camp at No. 2 station in Carnley Harbour, Campbell Island, was Charles Alexander Fleming (d. 1987). Fleming was a scientist who had interests across many fields; he was a meticulous observer and recorder of scientific data. Fleming kept a diary while on Campbell Island and the scientific papers he subsequently wrote have been fundamental in the ‘understanding of the biology of the NZ subantarctic realm’.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The Snares Islands lie about 200 kilometres south of mainland New Zealand and they have their own endemic penguin – the Snares crested (<em>Eudyptes robustus</em>). These flightless aquatic birds breed only on the Snares in the summer months, from September to January. The female lays two eggs, the second always considerably bigger than the first, and usually only one chick survives to fledge. In this photograph, taken by Dr Trudi Webster, are individuals at various stages of moulting.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Inspired by William Speirs Bruce and his polar expedition vessel, <em>Scotia</em>, Jean-Baptiste Charcot fitted out <em>Pourquoi-pas?</em>, along similar lines. It has been described as ‘one of the most successful of all polar vessels’ (Bryan, 2011). On his second trip south in 1908, Charcot intended to ‘verify, complete, and expand’ his researches. Because of the improved living conditions aboard <em>Pourquoi-pas?</em>, there were high levels of scientific productivity. New territories were discovered (one Charcot called after his father – Charcot Land) and maps were made of thousands of kilometres of coastline. Again botanical and zoological specimens were collected like these starfish.

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.
Frenchman Jean-Baptiste Charcot (b. 1867) was, according to his biographer Marthe Oulié, ‘a scientist by birth, by inclination, by training and education’. Son of the famous neurologist and a trained medical doctor, Charcot made his first trip to Antarctica in 1903 aboard <em>Français</em> – ostensibly a trip to locate missing Swedish explorer Otto Nordenskjöld. By the time Charcot arrived in Argentina the Swede had been found so the doctor carried on South to ‘explore the unknown southern part of the Antarctic Peninsula and Alexander I Land’ (Bryan, 2011). The expedition did not make ‘headlines’, but it did make a huge contribution to all areas of science. These bird foetus specimens were just some of those in the 75 specimen cases that Charcot took back to France.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The TAE was the first overland trip to the South Pole since Amundsen and Scott’s expeditions of the early 20th century. British scientist and explorer, Vivian Fuchs (d. 1999) intended to cross the polar cap in a hundred days. Edmund Hillary, fresh from the success of Everest in 1953, headed the Ross Sea Support Team. Hillary’s men set up Scott Base and using Ferguson tractors, airplanes and dogs they laid resupply depots for Fuchs and his men. In the end, Fuchs was weeks late and it would have been unsustainable for Hillary and his team to wait for him at Depot 700 as intended. So, ignoring telegrams from the Expedition Committee, Hillary pushed on to the Pole and reached it before Fuchs. This incident caused a bit of a ‘kerfuffle’.

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.
