About G T AtkinsonH R MilLouis Charles Bernacchi

Louis Charles Bernacchi (8 November 1876 - 24 April 1942) a physicist and astronomer is best known for his role in several expeditions to the Antarctic. He joined Carstens Borchgrevink's Southern Cross expedition (1898-1900) which wintered at Cape Adare Antarctica joining the expedition in New Zealand after the previous physicist candidate had been rejected on medical grounds. The expedition was the first to spend the winter on the Antarctic continent (the Belgian Antarctic Expedition having been first to overwinter in 1898) and the first to sledge towards the South Pole. He wrote a book about the expedition To the south polar regions: expedition of 1898-1900 published in 1900.
