Memorial Cross at Observation hill, McMurdo<\/span><\/strong><\/center><\/p>\n

Observation Hill is<\/strong> a steep 230 m hill adjacent to McMurdo Station<\/strong> (WAP USA-22<\/strong><\/span>) in
\nAntarctica<\/strong> and commonly called “Ob Hill”<\/strong> It is frequently climbed to get good viewing points across the continent. Regular clear skies give
\nexcellent visibility. But
\n\"\"Observation Hill<\/strong> is also known for being the site where a Cross was erected as memorial to Robert Falcon Scott<\/strong> and his South Pole Party
\n<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In 1972<\/strong>, the cross was declared as one of the initial Historic Sites and Monuments<\/strong> in Antarctica<\/strong> by the Antarctic Treaty
\nsignatories<\/strong>, as HSM-20<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just to breafly retrace the history<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

After their deaths in early 1912, the last members of Robert Falcon Scott<\/strong>‘s party were found by a search party led by the surgeon Dr. Edward L. Atkinson<\/em>.
\nThe relief party took their photographic film, scientific specimens, and other materials. The bodies of Scott<\/strong> and his men were left in their tent, and later parties could
\nnot locate the campsite, since that area had been covered in snow. A century of storms and snow have covered the cairn and tent, which are now encased in the Ross Ice Shelf as it slowly
\ninches towards the Ross Sea. The search party returned to their base camp in McMurdo Sound<\/strong> to await the relief ship.<\/p>\n

After it arrived, they worked to build a memorial: a nine-foot wooden cross, inscribed with the names of the fatal party and the final line of the Alfred Tennyson poem “Ulysses
\n<\/em>“, which reads “To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

On 22 January 1913<\/strong>, after a difficult two-day sledge journey, the cross was erected on the summit of Observation Hill<\/strong>, overlooking the camp and facing
\nout towards the “Barrier”, the Ross Ice Shelf, on which Scott<\/strong>‘s party had died.<\/p>\n

The picture above, shows New Zealanders from Scott Base<\/strong> (WAP NZL-\u00d81<\/span><\/strong>)grouped around the Memorial Cross
\n<\/strong> during the 51 years commemoration (Season1963-1964)<\/p>\n

Observation Hill est<\/strong> une colline escarp\u00e9e de 230 m adjacente \u00e0 la station McMurdo<\/strong> (WAP USA-22<\/strong> <\/span>) dans
\nL’Antarctique<\/strong> et commun\u00e9ment appel\u00e9e \u00ab Ob Hill \u00bb<\/strong> Elle est fr\u00e9quemment escalad\u00e9e pour obtenir de bons points de vue \u00e0 travers le continent. Les ciels clairs r\u00e9guliers donnent
\nexcellente visibilit\u00e9. Mais
\n\"\"Colline d’observation<\/strong> est \u00e9galement connu pour \u00eatre le site o\u00f9 une croix a \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9rig\u00e9e en m\u00e9moire de Robert Falcon Scott<\/strong> et de son South Pole Party
\n<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

En 1972<\/strong>, la croix a \u00e9t\u00e9 d\u00e9clar\u00e9e comme l’un des premiers Sites et Monuments Historiques<\/strong> en Antarctique<\/strong> par le Trait\u00e9 sur l’Antarctique
\nsignataires<\/strong>, en tant que HSM-20<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Juste pour retracer bri\u00e8vement l’histoire<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Apr\u00e8s leur mort au d\u00e9but de 1912, les derniers membres de l’\u00e9quipe de Robert Falcon Scott<\/strong> ont \u00e9t\u00e9 retrouv\u00e9s par une \u00e9quipe de recherche dirig\u00e9e par le chirurgien Dr. Edward L. Atkinson<\/em>.
\nL’\u00e9quipe de secours a pris leur film photographique, des sp\u00e9cimens scientifiques et d’autres mat\u00e9riaux. Les corps de Scott<\/strong> et de ses hommes ont \u00e9t\u00e9 laiss\u00e9s dans leur tente, et les parties suivantes ont pu
\npas localiser le camping, car cette zone \u00e9tait recouverte de neige. Un si\u00e8cle de temp\u00eates et de neige a recouvert le cairn et la tente, qui sont maintenant encastr\u00e9s dans la plate-forme de glace de Ross alors qu’il
\npouces vers la mer de Ross. L’\u00e9quipe de recherche est retourn\u00e9e \u00e0 son camp de base \u00e0 McMurdo Sound<\/strong> pour attendre le navire de secours.<\/p>\n

Apr\u00e8s son arriv\u00e9e, ils ont travaill\u00e9 \u00e0 la construction d’un m\u00e9morial : une croix en bois de neuf pieds, sur laquelle sont inscrits les noms de la partie fatale et le dernier vers du po\u00e8me d’Alfred Tennyson \u00ab Ulysse
\n<\/em>‘, qui se lit ‘ S’efforcer, chercher, trouver et ne pas c\u00e9der. ‘<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Le 22 janvier 1913<\/strong>, apr\u00e8s un difficile voyage en tra\u00eeneau de deux jours, la croix fut \u00e9rig\u00e9e au sommet de la colline de l’Observation<\/strong>, dominant le camp et faisant face
\nvers la \u00ab Barri\u00e8re \u00bb, le Ross Ice Shelf, sur lequel le groupe de Scott<\/strong> \u00e9tait mort.<\/p>\n
