- Description:
- In the early 1950s, British geologist Vivian Fuchs proposed a major expedition to explore the surface of Antarctica, an expedition which would be the first overland crossing of the Antarctic continent. To complete this project, Fuchs needed the help of New Zealand, as well as its then most-famous resident, Sir Edmund Hillary.
