The sun was reflected off the white snow with dazzling brightness, and we were all struck to the very heart by a feeling of awe.". He and . [63], On 17 January, two officers from Fram, Thorvald Nilsen and Kristian Prestrud, paid a brief visit to the Japanese ship. The former RGS president Clements Markham ignored the expedition altogether in his polar exploration history, The Lands of Silence. [89] After taking on fresh coal and provisions, Kainan Maru left Wellington on 2 April, and arrived in Yokohama on 19 June. This telegram was accidentally released to the New Zealand press. Outside Japan, the expedition was generally dismissed, or ignored altogether. So far, so good Sir Edmund Hillary (left) with Dr Vivian Fuchs at the South Pole in January. The announcement that the Queen would confer a knighthood on Dr Fuchs reached Mrs Fuchs in Wellington (N.Z.) Asked about future plans, Dr Fuchs said, I want to get to New Zealand where my wife is waiting to see me.Sir Edmund Hillary said, I am rather anxious to knock my garden into shape.. Between 1992 and 2015, an image of a modified Massey Ferguson tractor graced the New Zealand $5 note, commemorating the achievement. The wreck of Endurance is a bridge to a bygone age, and a reminder of Antarctica's uncertain future. [7] Undaunted, Shirase then changed his plans; he would go south instead, and aim for the still unconquered South Pole.

[65] This proved difficult and dangerous, involving the cutting of an ice path through the steep cliffside to the Barrier summit to enable the transfer of men, dogs, provisions and equipment. And it helped cement New Zealands independent relationship with Antarctica, specifically the Ross Dependency and Scott Base, as quite separate from its ties to Britain. The ice "took the form of small lotus leaves, which gradually spread out over the sea to cover the whole surface". After failing to land in its first season, the Japanese expedition's original aim of reaching the South Pole was replaced by less ambitious objectives, and after a more successful second season it returned safely to Japan, without injury or loss of life. This would be the first overland crossing of the frozen continent. The 1958 Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (Showa Station) inspired the 1983 hit film Antarctica, of which Eight Below is a remake. New Zealander Sir Edmund Hillary - who has already conquered Mount Everest - arrived with his team 17 days ago. The announcement of the knighthood soon afterward was the signal for a second round of champagne.

Mrs Fuchs said her husband told her he hoped to sail in the Endeavour in about three days time and was looking forward lo arriving in New Zealand within a fortnight.

Edmund Hillary's Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition completes the third overland journey to the South Pole, the first to use powered vehicles. This was to the chagrin of many scientists in both parties, including the IGY scientific leader Trevor Hatherton, who decried the sites poor conditions for geologic, geomagnetic and seismic research. Seven dogs had died while still chained, and eight had broken free. In fact, it was Hillary who selected, in a last-minute change, the bases location on Ross Island, as it was more convenient for the TAEs priority of travelling over the Polar Plateau. In such cases the archivist will advise about any requirements imposed by the owner. The expeditions origins go back to 1953, when Vivian Fuchs, a geologist with the Falkland Islands Dependency Survey, began circulating a proposal for the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (TAE). You have made a notable contribution to scientific knowledge and succeeded in a great enterprise. Description. The newly established Scott Base was intended to serve the interests of both New Zealands IGY and TAE parties, and was placed under Hillarys command.
