Historic Routes

A selection of routes and tracks from some of the most significant early Antarctic expeditions, from the first circumnavigation of Antarctica by Fabien Gottlieb von Bellingshausen, to the first Trans-Antarctic flight by Lincoln Ellsworth in 1935.

Dater, Henry M. "History of Antarctic Exploration and Scientific Investigation." In Antarctic Map Folio Series, edited by Vivian C. Bushnell: American Geographical Society, 1975.

NOTE: Lines may appear outside of sensible locations (i.e. going on land in a straight line through mountain peaks, sailing straight through islands) due to the low precision of these lines on the original maps.
