The British Graham Land Expedition was a completely amateur expedition except for their ship's Royal Navy Captain and engineer. "The objectives were simple: experience the adventure of polar living matching danger and daring while exploring Graham Land by ship sledge and airplane" .But as far as our exploratory work is concerned we were able to work in a previously unvisited part of the Antarctic and make two major discoveries. First that Graham Land is part of the Antarctic Continent and not an archipelago as was previously thought and secondly that a great channel running approximately north and south separates Graham Land from Alexander Land. Since our return to England His Majesty the King has graciously given permission for this channel to be called King George VI Sound." - Author's preface.Conrad 302 Renard 1337 and 1338 Spence 1017 SPRI 14274.
