From: Lennox-King, James, fl 2001 : Reminiscences

Reference: MS-Papers-7191

Description: Reminiscences of Commander Lennox-King of his time in Antarctica from 1956 to 1961; he describes the background to Antarctic exploration, his entry to Antarctic administration between the early IGY research period between 1951 and 1957 and later Scott Base research period from the mid-1960s. His reminiscences are divided into three parts, part one covering his first taste of Antarctica, the beginning of his time there as liaison officer to the seaborne element of the the United States' operation, Deep Freeze, experiences at the base and on the ice, the importance of transport connections, the wild life, travels to other parts of the continent and his return home. Part two covers his time as New Zealand commander of Scott Base in a time he calls the `Age of heroes', between the early days of Antarctic exploration and the matter-of-fact routine of today. Part three covers another appointment and Lennox-King describes relationships with the American base and the Russians in Antarctica. His term ended but he went on two voyages on the `Endeavour', the Antarctic resupply ship, sailing to the United States where the Namakargon was converted to become another `Endeavour' and then to the Antarctic and the sub-Antarctic islands.
