Antarctican Society centennial medallion

摘要

The Antarctican Society, based in the United States, has produced a medallion (Fig. 1) in recognition of the centennial of the discovery of the South Pole by Roald Amundsen and Captain Robert Falcon Scott, in 1911 and 1912, respectively. This item is representative of both expeditions. The Antarctican Society was formed in 1960 as a not-for-profit educational society by those with interests and experience in Antarctica. A newsletter resulted, published at irregular intervals, and continues to this day.
