Antarctica Mugs
Description: The United States Antarctic Research Program (USARP) has operated in Antarctica since 1959, sending teams of scientists down south every Austral Summer to discover new information about the frozen continent. My grandfather was one-such explorer, and he worked in Antarctica throughout the early years of the 1960s. One of the greatest gifts I ever received was his old exploration parka, emblazoned with the logo of the USARP. The logo speaks of adventure, danger and exploration in the most isolated part of the world. Whenever you don one these exploration-inspired pieces of clothing or write in your USARP-styled notebook, you can celebrate the endeavour and the ingenuity of the brave men and women who have made Antarctica their home.
Description: A stylized depiction featuring a penguin centered in front of a compass rose overlaid on a white outline of Antarctica. The design is simple and uses a limited color palette of black, white, and light grey on a black background. Text includes 'N', 'S', 'E', and 'W' from the compass.
Description: Endurance was the three-masted barquentine in which Sir Ernest Shackleton and a crew of 27 men sailed for the Antarctic on the 1914–1917 Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition. The ship, originally named Polaris, was built at Framnæs shipyard and launched in 1912 from Sandefjord in Norway. After her commissioners could no longer pay the shipyard, the ship was bought by Shackleton in January 1914 for the expedition, which would be her first voyage. A year later, she became trapped in pack ice and finally sank in the Weddell Sea off Antarctica on 21 November 1915. All of the crew survived her sinking and were eventually rescued in 1916 after using the ship's boats to travel to Elephant Island.
Description: A stylized half-penguin portrait. The background is split into black and light gray geometric shapes that mirror the penguin's coloring. Below the penguin, an orange band displays text in bold black lettering: "ANTARCTICA", "NEW ZEALAND" in white, and "SCOTT BASE". The New Zealand flag is positioned to the lower right.
Description: Antarctica - Little America was a series of Antarctic exploration bases from 1929 to 1958, located on the Ross Ice Shelf, south of the Bay of Whales. They were built on ice that moves very slowly; the relative location on the ice sheet has moved and eventually breaks off into an iceberg. The geographic location has new ice that has shifted to this location and is technically over the open water.
Description: Antarctica, know as "the international continent" is home to 70 research stations representing 29 countries. Our unique Orca and iceberg design is perfect for those who love whales, enjoy cruise tourism, pursue research in fields such as geology, oceanography, physics, astronomy, glaciology, meteorology, or have a passion for exploration. Show your adventurous side with this Antarctica souvenir.
Description: Boctok 3 was a spaceflight of the Soviet space program intended to determine the ability of the human body to function in conditions of weightlessness and test the endurance of the Vostok 3KA spacecraft over longer flights. Cosmonaut Andriyan Nikolayev orbited the Earth 64 times over nearly four days in space, August 11–15, 1962, a feat which would not be matched by NASA until the Gemini program (1965–1966).[1] (source : wikipedia)
