Speaker: Andrew McConville, Librarian Digital Access
Prior to the 18th and 19th centuries, Antarctica was the great unknown:
how could nature survive in temperatures averaging -57 C? And just
how large was the continent? Join reference librarian and Antarctic
history buff Andrew McConville for this special tour, to discover how
Antarctic exploration was recorded, and Melbourne’s role in reviving
voyages in the later part of the 19th century. There will be the
chance to see documents chronicling the first recorded landing and
exploratory expedition on the Antarctic continent.
