Antarctic Exploration in the Late 1800s
This website was developed from newspaper
articles related to polar exploration which were collected by L. L.
Dyche, a professor at the University of Kansas. They were found in Dyche's
scrapbooks which are available at Spencer Research Library at the University
of Kansas. These scrapbooks cover the exploits of many different polar
explorers, though this section of the PRISM project looks only at reports
related to Antarctica. If you would like to help us complete transcriptions
on other polar explorers of the 1800s, please let us know.
The following articles tell the story of
Antarctic explorers who began their explorations in the late 1800s.
The information presented is for historical purposes and does not necessarily
represent current views of PRISM or its sponsors.
