Chart of the Antarctic Ocean Sheet B
Mulock's masterful rendition of the full coast of the Ross Barrier ice shelf surveyed during the "Discovery" expedition led by Captain Scott.
Mulock famously replaced Ernest Shackleton on the Discovery Expedition and became the official cartographer to the enterprise. On his return to the U.K. he compiled his sketches and notes to produce a special portfolio of six important charts cartographically summarising the routes and survey work undertaken by the expedition.
This chart is one of the set of six and covers the full length of the Ross Ice Barrier surveyed by the Discovery during January and February 1902. At one extreme of the barrier are Ross Island, McMurdo Sound the Koettlitz Glacier while at the other we see the newly surveyed King Edward VII Land. The routes of the ship are marked in red with the dates of various anchor points. The blue dotted line along the coast is the Barrier as surveyed by Ross in 1841; the obvious discrepancy between the two lines shows either that the barrier has moved significantly or that Ross’s measurements were incorrect.
At 164 degrees West, the Discovery anchored for 26 hours during the 3rd and 4th of February 1902, making it possible to send up an air balloon to observe the tall Barrier surface from above and take notes on undulations and the lack of visible land. A sledging party led by Lieut. Armitage, confirmed these sighting, as noted on the map. This was the first man made flight on Antarctica.
