Extract

Since the description of the activities of the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey for 1946–47 by Surgeon-Commander E. W. Bingham no general account of the Survey's activities has appeared in the Polar Record. The writer's connection with these activities dates from 1948, but in order to bring the story up to date, it is necessary to begin in 1947.
