Description “Southward, HO! Airplane, Ship, and Sledges to Carry Explorers on Completist Survey of the Polar Continent”. Details on a planned expedition to the Antartica by John Lachlan Cope.The British Imperial Antarctic Expedition of 1920-1922 was planned originally as a fantastically ambitious venture. John Lachlan Cope, a surgeon and biologist, had been a member of the Ross Sea section of Shackleton’s Imperial Trans Antarctic Expedition. He had been disappointed in the amount of microbiological work achieved on the Ross Sea party and wanted to return to Antarctica. He planned the expedition for the ‘glory of the British Empire’.Cope planned to sail in Scott’s old ship, the Terra Nova, on a 54 man, five year expedition, that would circumnavigate Antarctica, establish a base in the Ross Sea, make the first flight over the South Pole, explore for mineral deposits, obtain information about whales and encourage the creation of a British whale trade industry, investigate meteorological and magnetic conditions and continue exploration along the western edge of the Weddell Sea.Cope failed to get funding~ Four men, rather than 54, set out in 1922.
