Considering our modern means of travel and communication, it is a matter of some wonder that so large a piece of our Earth planet as the unknown areas of Antarctica still remains unexplored. That the International Geophysical Year would focus unprecedented attention on Antarctica was a foregone conclusion. As plans for our national participation in the co-ordinated geophysical exploration of Antarctica by eleven nations developed, it became increasingly evident that we should bring together available scientific knowledge of the Continent for background purposes in examining the major scientific problems awaiting us.
