Antarctic Partners: 50 Years of New Zealand and United States Cooperation in Antarctica, 1957-2007 Peat, Neville ‘A partnership well worth celebrating’ is how Sir Edmund Hilary sums up the way New Zealand and the United States have worked together in Antarctica over the 50 years since their stations were established on Ross Island in the Ross Sea region south of New Zealand. Sir Edmund, the leading figure at the outset of the partnership in the 1956-57 summer, describes the partnership as ‘unique’ among the 28 nations active today. The book is a dramatic account of the dynamics of the NZ-US cooperation in Antarctica — the way people get to and from the region by air and sea, the day-to-day reality of living and conducting science in a frozen desert, diplomatic links through the Treaty System, the need for search and rescue capability and the collaboration between scientists from the two nations. Numerous photographs by Andris Apse. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
