There are three reasons why I embarked upon creating this set of Antarctic Pages:

:- (  I couldn't find Scott

During the creation of my Family History Home Pages I wanted to add a link in my TimeLine to Robert Falcon Scott's final expedition - but I failed to find one. The situation over the past 18 months has totally transformed. A search in any half decent search engine (try http://www.google.com) will produce numerous sites. One of the best I've seen is http://www.south-pole.com

:- (  The images on the BAS pages

The official pages for the British Antarctic Survey presented some absolutely appalling images for one of the most visually stunning parts of the earth. The quality had been deliberately nobbled to prevent unauthorised reuse. The situation has now improved and the image presented of Signy Island is much crisper, if you like looking at huts....

:- )  This is fun

Need I say more...
