He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1974 and was President of the Royal Geographical Society from 1982 to 1984. Hillarys dash to the Pole was far more memorable than the actual crossing. Daniella McCahey is an assistant professor of History at Texas Tech University. The Japan National Institute of Polar Research began a multiyear research program in Antarctica to coincide with the International Geophysical Year of 1957. The name "Yamato Yukihara" was officially accepted by the Japanese Antarctic Place Names Committee in 2012. Japan commenced its scientific activities in Antarctica in 1956, which was marked by the voyage of "Soya" with the 1st Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition (JARE) on board. Like the first race to the Pole between Roald Amundsen and Robert Falcon Scott in 1911-12, this one was framed as yet another loss by Britain. Only the future will tell that. This was to the chagrin of many scientists in both parties, including the IGY scientific leader Trevor Hatherton, who decried the sites poor conditions for geologic, geomagnetic and seismic research. [59] After naming the inlet Kainan Bay, they sailed away. [47], When the ship's refurbishment was complete and the expedition ready to depart, Shirase and his officers wrote to David thanking him for all the help he had given: "You were good enough to set the seal of your magnificent reputation upon our bona fides, and to treat us as brothers in the realm of science Whatever may be the fate of our enterprise, we will never forget you". Members of the team attempting the first surface crossing of the Antarctic have joined up at the South Pole. In Fuchs words: A trans-continental journey made wholly within territory claimed by the British Commonwealth [] would gain prestige and at the same time contribute to the solidarity of Commonwealth interests.. What many of you do not know is that as part of my trip I had to spend a homestay weekend with a Japanese family. (The Institute does not seek this permission on behalf of readers). Led by Lieutenant Nobu Shirase and funded largely by donations, the original goal of the 27 member team had been to be the first men to reach the South Pole. Read more: Shortly after his arrival at the Pole, Hillary sent a message to Fuchs suggesting he abandon his plans for completing a crossing, given the difficult conditions. [38] Tension had grown following Japan's recent military victories in Russia and China, and as in New Zealand, there was considerable suspicion about the party's true purpose. [60], Shirase now decided to divide the expedition into two parts. Taro (; 1955-1970) and Jiro (; 1955-1960) were two Sakhalin Huskies which survived for eleven months in Antarctica after being left behind by the 1958 Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition.Due to poor weather conditions, the expedition was unable to airlift out 15 dogs, which were left chained and with only a few days' worth of food. [88][90] On 1 February they arrived at the Bay of Whales, but ice conditions prevented them for two days from beginning the embarkation of Shirase's party. [96][72], In 1979 Mary Edgeworth David donated her father's samurai sword to the Australian Museum, where it is a focus of interest to many Japanese visitors. The remainder of the expedition was an exercise in damage control, with the organising committees in New Zealand and the UK stressing there was indeed only one expedition, and there had been no race to the Pole. [31] The ship sailed on, past the Possession Islands and towards Coulman Island, where ice conditions were even worse. Nonetheless, the New Zealand government still had to heavily subsidise the enterprise. Moreover, it marked the beginning of modern New Zealands close identification with Antarctica and its own Scott Base, and the end of old colonial hierarchies on the ice. An emergency evacuation resulted in the abandonment of 15 sled dogs. In his account to The Geographical Journal, Ivar Hamre describes a gala occasion, with flags and bunting flying,[23] while others write of brass bands, speeches and around 50,000 supporters present. [citation needed] In the 1958 event, fifteen Sakhalin Husky sled dogs were abandoned when the . The wreck of Endurance is a bridge to a bygone age, and a reminder of Antarctica's uncertain future. [76] There were no fatalities or serious injuries among the personnel all returned safely home. [8][20] But she was strongly built, with a double layer hull sheathed with iron plating, and extra protection at the stem. By the time Fuchs arrived at the Pole on January 19, a media firestorm had exploded. The researchers believed that a relief team would arrive within a few days and left the dogs chained up outside with a small supply of food. Stefansson Mss-212: United States Antarctic Projects Office-Official Observer reports, United States Antarctic Projects Office-Official Observer reports, https://www.dartmouth.edu/library/rauner/, Rauner.Special.Collections.Reference@dartmouth.edu. [65] This proved difficult and dangerous, involving the cutting of an ice path through the steep cliffside to the Barrier summit to enable the transfer of men, dogs, provisions and equipment. [8] Realistically, it was far too late in the season for this schedule to be viable, but this was not yet apparent to Shirase or his supporters. He had never doubted that the party would get through, but there were times, especially in the earlier phases, when considerable difficulties were met and one wondered how long it was going to take.. [13] Still the scientific community remained aloof, and the journal of the Tokyo Geographical Society, while reporting on other countries' expeditions, ignored the Japanese venture entirely. [42] Nomura and another expedition member, Keiichi Tada, went back to Japan to report on the situation, and to seek further funding for a renewed attempt in the following season. [4] This expedition turned into a disaster, from which Shirase emerged in 1895 as one of few survivors, most of the party having succumbed to privation or scurvy.

[8][81] The Japanese were, however, the first to make a successful landing on King Edward VII Land from the sea. [30] The small leaves turned to large disks, four metres across, through which Kainan Maru attempted to drive a passage: "The crunch and crack every time we smashed through a floe were not at all pleasant. Deviating from the expeditions initial plans and disobeying orders from the Ross Sea Committee, Hillary continued to the South Pole and arrived at the US Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station on January 3, 1958, becoming the first to make this journey using overland vehicles. [76] Arriving at their base camp on 31January, they recovered from their exertions by sleeping for 36hours. It was also about national competition and prestige, disputed sovereignty, and competing versions of masculinity. [8] He accepted the Japanese expedition as genuine only their late start, he argued, had forced them to seek shelter in Australia. Anyone wishing to consult material should ensure they note the entire MS reference and the name of the originator. The expeditions origins go back to 1953, when Vivian Fuchs, a geologist with the Falkland Islands Dependency Survey, began circulating a proposal for the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (TAE). But we did sometimes wonder how we would ever overcome our obstacles ahead.. Read more: But the Ross Sea Committee, which organised the expedition, worked to imbue the public with a sense that their country had a stake in the Antarctic territory they claimed: the New Zealand Antarctic Expedition, as it was often called domestically, would be a triumph for their nation. A station Syowa was established in Droning Maud Land, Antarctica. In Britain, the Royal Geographical Society's secretary, John Scott Keltie, was reluctant even to acknowledge the Japanese expedition, and no report of it appeared in the Society's journal for many years. [96] He died in relative obscurity in 1946. Syowa Station, the primary station for JARE operations, is located along the northeastern coastal region of Ltzow-Holm Bay, East Antarctica (69 00'S, 39 35'E), and was opened on 29 January 1957. Yet the drama was still not over. Eight Below adapts the events of the 1958 incident, moved forward to 1993. One party would land at the Bay of Whales and form a "Dash Patrol" that would make a southern march across the Barrier, with the dogs. Japan's slow emergence from isolation, following the fall of the Tokugawa shogunate in 1868, kept it largely aloof from the growing international interest in polar exploration that escalated in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In fact, most of what is known about Antarctica has been discovered in the present century. He said he and his companions had been given a wonderful welcome by the members of the party at Scott Base and by the Americans. These were the two youngest dogs on the team (at three years old) were brothers, and were the pups of Kuma, a dog that had also been on the chain at Showa, but had broken free and disappeared. Cart. Relations between the two men were improved, at least to the point where it was agreed that Sir Ed would join the . Of these 15, seven of the dogs died on the chain, six of them disappeared, and two, Taro and Jiro, successfully overwintered and were discovered by the next research group the following spring. A bundle of congratulatory cables awaited Dr Fuchs. Dwight D. Eisenhower issued . Asian researchers refer to the fact that a Japanese expedition led by Nobu Shirase visited West . [66] While the landing proceeded, Nomura visited Fram and was much impressed by what he saw.

Even though the expedition remained officially separate, it could be seen as supporting the IGYs wide-ranging scientific research efforts. Taro (; 19551970) and Jiro (; 19551960) were two Sakhalin Huskies which survived for eleven months in Antarctica after being left behind by the 1958 Japanese Antarctic Research Expedition. [26][27], Initial reactions in Wellington to this unexpected late arrival were of amusement and suspicion. But as a historian of Antarctic science, I believe the expedition tells us about more than just Kiwi ingenuity and attitude. You have made a notable contribution to scientific knowledge and succeeded in a great enterprise. [48] Just before their departure, as a further sign of his regard, Shirase presented David with his 17th century samurai sword, a rare gift indeed to a non-Japanese. The unloading completed, Kainan Maru departed for King Edward VII Land, leaving seven men on the Barrier. While Fuchs soon won the support of many in the Commonwealth polar and scientific communities, some derided what appeared to be a geopolitical exercise using the supposedly apolitical, science-focused IGY.

Kainan Maru was taken further east along the coast than any previous ship; the Dash Patrol sledged faster than anyone before, and became only the fourth team up to that time to travel beyond 80S. [70] The patrol's aim was to travel as far south as possible in the limited time available, over unexplored terrain. At the end of the first expedition in 1956-57 a wintering party of eleven members remained in Antarctica from February 1957 to February 1958, and ac complished preliminary research in cosmic-rays and auroral phemomena at the Japanese Base (690'22" S, 3935'24" E), and in geology and glaciology along the Prince Harald Coast. [57] As they sailed beyond the Bay of Whales, the ship was attacked by a school of killer whales, who soon withdrew when they realised the nature of their attempted prey, but not before they had caused considerable alarm to the deeply religious Ainus, who prayed fervently throughout the attack.
