  • Notes on a General Purpose Boat for use in Polar Regions

  • R. E. D. Ryder
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    27 October 2009, pp. 399-406

  • Few will dispute the fact that some type of boat for work in polar regions is an important requirement for all who live or travel there. As a corollary I think that few will agree about the exact type required. The reason for this is that the various regions of both Arctic and Antarctic differ widely, and it would be a mistake to suppose that the same set of conditions applies to all the coasts of the polar regions. With a view to provoking interest in this very absorbing subject, the following article describes a boat which was built in the Antarctic by the British Graham Land Expedition and was designed with the knowledge we had of that coast. Whether or not this boat would be suitable in other areas is better decided by those who may have a more varied knowledge of the Arctic and Antarctic foreshores and of travelling across sea ice.

  • Bering's Last Voyage

  • Frank Debenham
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    27 October 2009, pp. 421-426

  • In this bicentenary year of Bering's last voyage it is interesting to recall the outstanding features of that sombre story, which to the ordinary person of limited reading must be as obscure and misty as the seas in which it was cast.
