Bickerton repairs the Air-tractor, Antarctica, 1912-1913, Frank Hurley

from State Library of New South Wales

  • Highranger said:
    From memory this plane was damaged and the wings were removed and it was then used as a tractor?
  • State Library of New South Wales said:
    Yes - that is the case - although I think Bickerton still had a lot of trouble keeping it going on the few days they were able to test it.

Xavier Mertz Bringing in a box of Ice through the Catacombs, Antarctica, 1912, by Frank Hurley

from State Library of New South Wales

  • Blue Mountains Library, Local Studies said:
    The Mertz glacier was discovered by the Australasian Antarctic Expedition (1911–14) under Douglas Mawson, who named it for Xavier Mertz, a member of the expedition who lost his life on January 7, 1913, on the far-east sledge journey. Mertz's body likely remains in the glacier that bears his name, a few miles closer to the Southern Ocean than when he was buried in the ice by Mawson. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mertz_Glacier
