Dealer Notes

The Southern Cross expedition, funded by the publisher George Newnes and led by Carsten Borchgrevink, comprised members from several nations, including Louis Bernacchi, theTasmanian-born physicist who was the first Australian to set foot on the Antarctic continent. His account of the expedition, divided into a narrative and a scientific section, was one of only two that were published (the other was by the leader, Borchgrevink).
