title: Cornelius Sullivan at the geographic South Pole, 1996

description: USC Vice Provost for Research Cornelius (Neal) W. Sullivan holds an American flag at the geographic South Pole, January 1996.; The ice sheet is over 8,000 feet thick at the South Pole. Since the ice shifts along the underlying ground an average of thirty feet per year the marker that identifies the pole's exact location is reestablished annually. Situated near the South Pole Station is a barber pole topped by a chrome ball that acts as a permanent ceremonial marker. Americans have been living here since 1956. The lack of water vapor in the air makes the skies nearly transparent, an ideal setting for astronomical research.

title: Dog shelters outside of Ernest Shackleton's hut, Antarctica, 1981

description: Dog shelters outside of Ernest Shackleton's hut, Antarctica, 1981.; Ernest Shackleton was a member of Robert Scott's initial voyage to Antarctica. Determined to reach the pole, he returned to the region in 1907 and set up a base camp near Mount Erebus. He and his three companions got to within 97 miles of their destination but were forced to turn back due to poor weather conditions and a lack of food. While Shackleton traveled south, some of his remaining men climbed Mount Erebus for the first time. Shackleton's Hut is preserved today (2002) in much the same condition as his crew left it, almost 100 years ago.

title: USC Dean of Research Donal Manahan working underwater in Antarctica, 1980s

description: Photograph of University of Southern California Dean of Research Donal Manahan working underwater in Antarctica, 1980.; Due to its high southern latitude, visitors to Antarctica encounter conditions unlike anywhere else on Earth. The lowest temperature ever recorded was -127° at Russia's Vostok Station. However, explorers and scientists have had to endure more than just bitter cold. Hidden crevasses (cracks in a glacier or ice shelf) often spell doom for those who unwittingly tumble into them. Studying the marine ecosystem requires underwater dives, which creates unique survival challenges. Since the seawater is a chilling 29', one can only stay down for short periods of time before risking hypothermia.

description: Weddell seal under sea ice, Antarctica, 1980s.; The fragile web of life -- The frigid waters that surround Antarctica sustain most of the region's animal life since the land is too cold to support plants beyond moss, lichens, and a few hardy grasses. In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, seals and whales in the area were hunted nearly to extinction. While their numbers are starting to bounce back, they face other dangers to their survival. The population of tiny shrimplike krill, which many Antarctic animals depend on for survival, has dropped precipitously in recent years due to changes in the environment.

description: Robert Scott's hut, Cape Evans, Antarctica, 1995.; Robert Scott's last campaign in Antarctica (1910-1912) was a disaster. Although determined in his effort to be the first to plant the English flag at the South Pole, Scott made a few key errors in judgment, such as deciding to use slower-moving ponies instead of dogs to pull the sledges. They eventually made it to the pole only to find they had been beaten by Roald Amundsen's team. Demoralized, short on supplies, and beset by horrific weather conditions, the entire party perished on the return trip.

From the National Science Foundation (NSF).; This is a 2-story structure with the "leading edge" facing the prevailing wind. The steel structure is elevated 10-feet above the initial graded snow surface, supported by many 24-inch heavywall pipe piles. These are designed to allow the structure to be jacked up in the future. Unlike the original elevated CAF, the jacking system was included in the design; it was even tested at the fabricator's shop before the material was shipped. In this conceptual view the ceremonial Pole is shown in the lower left corner, near a line of Pole survey markers.

In 1914 his ship the Endurance became trapped and crushed by ice, forcing the crew to drift on ice floes for almost a year. While most of his men languished on an island near the Antarctic coast, Shackleton set off with five companions in a small open boat for the nearest permanent settlement, a small whaling village on South Georgia Island over 800 miles away throught strom-wracked seas. Incredibly, his crew were rescued without a single loss of life.
