The exploration of the interior of Antarctica and the race to the geographic pole started with the British National Antarctic Expedition of 1901-1904. It was jointly sponsored by the British government and by the major British scientific societies of the time and was led by Commander Robert F. Scott (1868-1912) of the British Navy (Huntford 1986a). The objective of this expedition was to explore the Ross Sea sector of Antarctica. Tbe expedition was given a new ship christened the RRS Discovery which was designed and built for exploration in Antarctic waters. The third officer of the crew was Ernest Henry Shackleton (1874-1922) who was entrusted with the job of preparing the Discovery for a 3-year voyage to Antarctica (Fig. 1.9a and b). 

Colonial zoos in Europe were intimately related to, and enmeshed in, ideas of exploration, the exotic and the pursuit of scientific knowledge, too. Western science accompanied colonialism in the exploration and exploitation of lands perceived as virgin wilderness territory with ideas of science and technology, nature and culture, heroism and progress, and national destiny. The era of exploration included geographers, geologists, botanists and missionaries. These adventurers collected an incredible range of items from rocks and minerals to plants, sundry cultural objects, and live animals.
