There was a story on Weekend Edition Sunday this morning about Robert Scott, the Antarctic explorer who died on his way back from the South Pole after being beaten there by Amundson in 1912. It reminded me of something.
When Dad got back from Antarctica he told us he’d had a place named after him.
It’s true!
If you want to see it, go here, select Search Antarctic Data on the right, type “Cape Timberlake” into the feature box on the next page, scroll down to the bottom and hit Send Query, then click on the name in the resulting page. Once you’ve done that, click the map feature on the right.
I love the Internet.
