Karlsruher Historiker in der Antarktis

Im Januar und Februar dieses Jahres fuhr PD Dr. Ole Sparenberg als Experte und Lektor auf seiner zweiten Reise mit einem Kreuzfahrtschiff in die #Antarktis🐧 . Auf der Reise, die von Argentinien über die Falkland Inseln, Süd-Georgien, das Wedell-Meer und die Antarktische Halbinsel nach Chile führte, hielt er Vorträge zur Geschichte der Region und begleitete Besuchergruppen bei Landausflügen. Neben atemberaubenden Landschaften 🏔️ und einer faszinierenden 🐳 Tierwelt bietet diese Region auch eine vielfältige Geschichte, die u.a. den #Walfang, die #Polarforschung und politische Konflikte wie den #Falkland-Krieg von 1982 umfasst.

FROM ROUND LAKE, THE HBC MEN UNDER WILLIAM CONNOLLY brought their horses and packhorses through the Grand Prairie #Falkland, making their way past the Monté to the #Kamloops post. Then, 5 years later, in 1831, Peter Warren Dease brought his men north over the same route. On this occasion, they brought their horses through a fire that was burning at Round Lake. https://nancymargueriteanderson.com/brigade-fifteen/
