In August 1897, the first scientific expedition to Antarctica set sail from Antwerp. Nineteen young men from six countries were on board, among them was American physician and Sullivan County native, Frederick Cook, venturing into the frozen unknown for more than a year. To celebrate the 125th anniversary of this expedition, the Frederick Cook Society is showing a collection of drawings and photographs by scientist Emil Racovitza, who was on the expedition. The collection is coming all the way from Romania.
For more, Radio Catskill’s Patricio Robayo spoke to Carol Smith, executive director of the Frederick A. Cook Society, Dr. Oana Marcu, co-founder of the Racovitza Foundation, and Dr. Sarah Pickman, independent historian.
