Dundee Whaling Expedition
The Dundee Whaling Expedition (1892–1893) was a commercial voyage from Scotland to Antarctica.

Whaling in the Arctic was in decline from overfishing. The merchants of Dundee decided to equip a fleet to sail all the way to the Weddell Sea in search of right whales. Antarctic whaling was mostly done from shore-based stations.

On 6 September 1892, four steam-powered whaling ships, the Balaena, Active, Diana and Polar Star, set off. In the end they found no whales they could harvest as the blue whales of the Antarctic were too powerful to be captured. However, the expedition managed to make a profit by collecting numerous seal pelts.

The expedition included the polar scientist William Speirs Bruce and William Gordon Burn Murdoch, surgeon and assistant on the Balaena under Captain Alexander Fairweather.  On 8 January 1893, Captain Thomas Robertson of Active discovered Dundee Island (63°30′S 055°55′W﻿ / ﻿63.500°S 55.917°W﻿ / -63.500; -55.917).

Rizomylos, Achaea
Rizomylos (Greek: Ριζόμυλος meaning rice mill) is a village in the municipal unit of Diakopto, Achaea, Greece. Its beach on the Gulf of Corinth, 2 km northeast of the village, is well known. Aigio is 6 km to the northwest, and the village Nea Keryneia is adjacent to the west. The Greek National Road 8A (Patras - Corinth) passes south of the village.

Greek National Road 8a
Greek National Road 8a (Greek: Εθνική Οδός 8a, abbreviated as EO8a) was a toll road in the Attica, Peloponnese and West Greece regions. It connected Athens with the cities of Corinth and Patras. It was built in the 1960s as a replacement for the old National Road 8 as the major route to the Peloponnese, and bypasses most towns. The National Road 8a has gradually been upgraded to a motorway, the A8. Since April 2017, the complete length of the A8 motorway has been operational.

The EO8a started east of Eleusis, where it branched off the old EO8 as a limited-access dual carriageway. Between Megara and Kineta the motorway passed through several tunnels. Its western end was the interchange with the A5 Ionia Odos, near Rio, northeast of Patras.

The total length of the route was 215 km. The eastern section, between Eleusis and Corinth, was part of European route E94. The western section, between Corinth and Rio, was part of European route E65.
