Scientists aboard the Discovery

The BANZARE (British Australia New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition) ship Discovery had a section reserved for scientific work, shown here. Bending over some specimens is New Zealand scientist Robert Falla. The Discovery travelled along the edge of Antarctica and visited Crozet, Kerguelen, Heard and Macquarie islands in 1929–30. A BANZARE report on birds written by Falla and published in 1937 became a classic.
