There is a sentence on the page that makes this point, and I added a citation to the science publication from the 1927 journal article in Zoologica. DaffodilOcean (talk) 19:20, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Pengirl555: - I added in some details about the 1925 Arcturus expedition. I also found some images on wikicommons, but I am not familiar enough with permissions about image use to feel comfortable using them and they have been flagged for deletion so I will leave them there.
