Talk:Arctic exploration

message: Stuff to mention in a polar exporation overview
* Hudson and Baffin the northwest passage seekers
* Byrd and his flyovers
* The Nautilus surfacing at the pole
* the Manhattan (tanker icebreaker) doing a northwest passage traversal
* the IGY International Geophysical year in 1957? with a lot of antarctic stuff
* McMurdo Base
* Shackleton expedition (this is polar exploration writ large, but Shackleton's story is the most widely known today)
* Crossings of both on foot, sledge, dog teams, etc.  Maybe a section of different methods of polar travel
* Mountain climbing in Antarctica
Great start!--Brad Patrick 04:42, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: What no...

message: So I've got the ever readable Pierre Burton beside me and I'm gung-ho to at least beef up and source the 19th century Arctic material. Are there other good survey works that editors have? I know this page has been under the spotlight—perhaps we can get together and take it to FA. Marskell 21:03, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Good sources 

message: I think this page should be split into pages focussing on:
*Exploration of the Arctic
*Exploration of the Antarctic
At the moment there is hardly any material on this page which falls between these two topics so it would be pretty easy to split. I will go ahead and do it shortly if there are no objections. Thanks Andeggs 18:55, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: *Splitting articles is usually done when the main article is getting too large. I don't see any size issues that would require splitting here. Actually, since both are related, I think keeping them together is a good idea. Why not redirect the suggested titles here? - Mgm|(talk) 07:50, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Comment. Seems to me that there's general agreement and it now really just needs someone to get on and do it! I suggest that Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration could also be merged into the proposed new Exploration of the Antarctic (or Antarctic Exploration) article. I don't really see the point of having both unless said article becomes overlong. 86.140.131.103 (talk) 17:32, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

text:  Okay a new article exists Arctic exploration taking all Arctic details from this page. This page, Polar exploration, should probably become a link page to Antarctic and Arctic exploration articles rather than repeating info. If someone wants to add more general bipolar info into this page in the future then that can be done with links to the separate pages on the two different poles.

thread_title:  Split suggestion 

message: I'm working on expanding arctic exploration in the Renaissance, where the Renaissance continues into the 17th Century.  From an exploratory point of view, the modern age probably doesn't start until the advent of steamships in the late 18th Century.  If we chop sections out of the Modern Era into the Renaissance, the entire Northwest Passage section would move.  What's the consensus on how this topic is split historically?

thread_title:  Renaissance and Early Modern versus Modern Era 

message: For a long time, U.S. acquired Arctic data but classified the results. U.S. Vice President Al Gore pushed for de-classifying some of this. It is unclear on how much this has occurred or the timeline of de-classifying. The area was known as the "Gore box." Perhaps this deserves an article, also.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.148.194.249 (talk) 14:00, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
