#Didyouknow Cook's voyage went as far south as the Antarctic? These drawings by expedition artists Georg Forster and William Hodges are the first depictions of a then completely unknown part of the world. #BLCookVoyages (Loaned from Mitchell Library, @statelibrarynsw)
Thank you to Dame Jane Francis (@BAS_News), @JFRumble, @KlausDodds and Damon Stanwell-Smith (@sea_urchin) for an enlightening and informed conversation @BritishLibrary - What does the #Antarctic mean? #BLCookVoyages For history of #mapping of #Antarctica: https://t.co/oTKuQ3gzsn
