I'd like to find out more about my grandfather's contribution to the geology of both Antarctica and New Zealand. He was HT Ferrar and went with Scott to Antactica on board 'Discovery' in 1901. I've been reading some of his papers in the Scott Polar Research Institute in Cambridge. He died in Karori (Welllington) in 1932. I'd also like to know what artefacts there are of his in the museum there in Christchurch. My mother's parents were founder students at Canterbury university, so they were in the same building! I was surprised not to see something about him in these pages, as New Zealand became his country....
