Other Projects - Antarctica 100
In the last 100 years Antarctica has grown in world importance from the last great unknown wilderness to the largest science laboratory in the world. Much of this impressive development can be traced back to the exploits of those heroic leaders of expeditions to the white wilderness. In 2001, with the centenary of the sailing of Captain Scott's first Antarctic expedition, a group of organisations decided to celebrate the links between then and now with a series of national and international activities. In particular they wished to generate wider public interest in the achievements of these expeditions. The organisations collaborating in
planning these activities have called the group
ANTARCTICA 100 and include those concerned with
geographical, scientific, artistic, heritage and
educational fields.
