DESCRIPTION:Rip Bulkeley is an independent historian of the earth sciences
  who lives in Oxford. He speaks\, or at least reads\, several languages in
 cluding Russian. Since taking degrees in Peace Studies and Strategic Studi
 es in the 1980s his main interest has been in the interaction between inte
 rnational relations and international scientific cooperation. His research
  into the International Geophysical Year of 1957--58 led him to develop an
  interest in the history of Antarctica and the (exaggerated) claim that sc
 ientific cooperation laid the basis for the Antarctic Treaty. While workin
 g in that field he came across the Russian Antarctic expedition of 1819--2
 1\, which was only the second voyage in history to cross the Antarctic Cir
 cle\, 47 years after James Cook. What he found next will be the subject of
  this short talk about his research project.
