The other
day there were celebrations at Scott Base Antarctica for Sir Edmund Hillary
who reached the South
Pole on that day 55 years ago, becoming the first overland explorer to do so
since Captain Robert Falcon Scott's expedition team arrived there in 1912.
They had only one drum of fuel left when they sighted the polar base, which they reached on January 4, 1958, ahead of the main contingent of the British cross-continent expedition they were supporting.

He and
the rest of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (TAE) crew travelled
nearly 2000km with converted tractors and sledges.
The photo left was taken on their arrival at the South Pole.

I am
so proud I had some correspondence with Sir Ed when I finished the book on
Ebenezer Teichelmann, I wrote to Ed Hillary asking if he would write a foreword
to the book, as I said he and Teichelmann had something special in common, they
were both former Presidents of the New Zealand Alpine Clubs. This is what he
wrote:

Edmund Hillary1 December, 2003.
