The crossing party of twelve was led by Dr. now Sir Vivian Ernest Fuchs born 11th Feb 1908 As you can see in the picture it is of the R.R.S.

Anthony Tucker in his Guardian obituary 13 November 1999 summed up Fuchs's achievements: 'Famous as the leader of the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition of 1957-58 during which he met Sir Edmund Hillary at the South Pole and carried out research which established the existence of a huge continental land mass beneath the polar ice cap Sir Vivian Fuchs . was one of the great adventurers scientist-explorers and expedition organisers of our time. He was director of the Falklands Islands Dependencies Survey from its creation in 1947 and from 1958-73 the continuing director of its successor the British Antarctic Survey BAS. His life spanned a period of massive transition in the nature and purposes of exploration.' No place or date. unknown
