     Extractions: Print entire article The devil's in the detail One of the small details that later appeared to have contributed to the demise of Scott's team was the use of leather washers for his expedition's fuel cans. On his return from the Pole, having learned that Amundsen had got there before him, Scott noted in his diary that when his men opened the cans some of the fuel had apparently evaporated. This was caused by the deterioration of the washers used to seal the cans in the extreme temperatures, allowing the fuel to 'creep'. Amundsen knew of this 'creeping' in low temperatures, and one of his team devised bungs that hermetically sealed the cans, to prevent any loss of the life-giving fuel. By the time, later in their voyage, that Scott, Wilson and Bowers were confined to their tent, they had run out of fuel, which was of course needed for turning ice into water for drinking. Dehydration is as much a problem in Antarctica as starvation.

     Extractions: Exhibits / April 2002 Introduction Antarctic Exploration, 1772 - 1922 Captain James Cook in the Resolution and Adventure James Clark Ross in the Erebus and Terror Ernest Shackleton and the British Antarctic Expedition (1907 - 1909) Ernest H. Shackleton and the Imperial Transantarctic Expedition (1914 - 1917) Introduction Michael H. Rosove, Clinical Professor of Medicine in UCLA’s Department of Medicine, has had an interest in Antarctica for more than twenty years and has made several trips to high south latitudes. In addition to his comprehensive Antarctica bibliography, he is the author of Let Heroes Speak: Antarctic Explorers, 1772 - 1922 , published by the Naval Institute Press in 2000 and scheduled for paperback release by Penguin Putnam. Dr. Rosove’s bibliography, which brings together published materials covering 150 years of Antarctic history, includes rare and virtually unknown works from the continent’s classical and heroic periods of exploration. This publication is the result of ten years of research in private collections and in the world’s most important libraries for Antarctic research, including UCLA Special Collections. The core of the Antarctica holdings at UCLA is the Mary Joe Goodwin Antarctica Collection. The collection was compiled by Goodwin, a prolific and award-winning medical illustrator, who was a member of the first public expedition to Antarctica in the mid-1960s and returned twice thereafter. The collection contains books and serials, Goodwin’s research materials and writings, correspondence, catalogues, slides, scrapbooks, films, and memorabilia. Important expeditions to the continent, mapmaking, geology, and natural history are a few of the potential areas of study for researchers using this collection. Many of the Goodwin materials also complement the Department’s Sir Maurice G. Holmes Collection relating to Captain James Cook. A small selection of UCLA’s Antarctica materials is on display in honor of Dr. Rosove’s new bibliography and his lecture in the Department of Special Collections on April 22, 2002.

Since the publication of Roland Huntford's biographies, Scott and Amundsen (1979) and Shackleton (1985), there has been a renewal of interest in the Antarctic exploratory expeditions of the early 20th century. It has taken the form of new editions of the South Polar classics of the period and the posthumous publication of edited diaries of several of the participants. As a result, many general readers might be left with the impression that the discovery and exploration of the Antarctic continent were very much a British and Norwegian affair. Michael Rosove's book does much to place these better-known expeditions in a wider historical context and introduce to the generalist the important contributions of Russian, American, French, Scottish, Belgian, Swedish, German, and Australian mariners, scientists, sealers, and explorers.
