The Antarctica and Apollo Project

Google Tech Talks
April, 17 2008

ABSTRACT

The Antarctica and Apollo project is exploring the history of heritage conservation in Antarctica and the lessons that can be taken for heritage sites on the Moon and beyond. The Heroic-era huts of Scott and Shackleton lay abandoned for decades before the US Navy briefly visited Antarctica in the late 1940s. The establishment of American and New Zealand scientific bases in the 1950s resulted in a range of interventions that have had significant impacts on the huts, their environs and associated artifacts.

Speaker: Bryan Lintott
Lintott is Director of the Ferrymeade Heritage Park in Christchurch, New Zealand. He has conducted historic preservation research of American and New Zealand research outposts in Antarctica and presented his findings internationally.

[bryanlintott]

The US National Ice Center defines a growler as:

Growlers are smaller fragments of ice and are roughly the size of a truck or grand piano. They are often transparent but can appear green or black in color. They extend less than 1 meter above the sea surface and occupy an area of about 20 square meters.
