Canterbury Museum

We are back to Fairbanks! The last day of New Zealand, we visited Canterbury Museum. This is great museum, I strongly recommend to visit, if you are in Christchurch. Plus free admission! We put donation, this museum have much more Antarctic information than the IAC!

This is one of five first tractor using trans-antarctic expedition!

Early time Polaris snowmachine! They made in US and using Kohler engine.

Poor ski!

Engine is on back seat.

Here is Nansen Cooker! This is most fuel efficient cooker!  Center pot for cooking and surround pot making water from ice and snow. F. Nansen developed this for his Fram expedition (1893-1895). problem is big and many parts. We developed Aluminum new Nansen Cooker during our Antarctic Expedition (1992-93).

HERE is copy of the R.F. Scott’s last page of his diary. I thought they display original about 25 years ago I visited.

R. Amundsen’s  knife fro his South Pole trip. This almost swiss army knife.
