When mental strain led the operation's first commander to resign, Taylor-a military engineer with extensive prewar surveying experience-became the first and only Canadian to lead an Antarctic expedition. As commander of the operation, Taylor oversaw construction of the first permanent base on the Antarctic continent at Hope Bay. From there, he led four-man teams on two epic sledging journeys around James Ross Island, overcoming arduous conditions and correcting cartographic mistakes made by previous explorers. The editors' detailed afterword draws on Taylor's extensive personal papers to highlight Taylor's achievements and document his significant contributions to polar science. This book will appeal to readers interested in the history of polar exploration, science, and sovereignty. It also sheds light on the little known contribution of a Canadian to a distant theatre of the Second World War. The wartime service of Major Taylor reveals important new details about a groundbreaking operation that laid the foundation for the British Antarctic Survey and marked a critical moment in the transition from the heroic to the modern scientific era in polar exploration. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Taylor, Andrew,|d1907-1993|xTravel|zAntarctica. 610 20 British Antarctic Survey|xHistory. 650 0 Scientific expeditions|zAntarctica|xHistory|y20th century. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945|xCampaigns|zAntarctica. 651 0 South Atlantic Ocean|xDiscovery and exploration|xBritish. 651 0 Antarctica|xDiscovery and exploration|xBritish. 700 1 Haddelsey, Stephen. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 15032247?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ ecw_9780887550874_180.jpeg
