The Survivor
“On the domestic scene, the Antarctic Division, even in the days when it was an agency of the Department of External Affairs, had no Sydney office. In a broader Antarctic context, one of Leeming’s parties should have discovered the Usarp Mountains, which were not in fact located until 1960. Nothing would have been achieved by forestalling fictionally the United States traverse party that made the discovery.
The characters of Leeming and Ramsey are not based on those of any historic Antarctic journeyers. Similarly, no don, living or dead, has a counterpart among the provincial academics who appear in this book.
I must thank, however inadequately, Rear-Admiral J. L.
