A fact from Vivian Fuchs appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 11 September 2006. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the English explorer and geologist Sir Vivian Fuchs led the first successful overland expedition across Antarctica in 1958—a journey of 2,158 miles (3,453 km)?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2006/September.

The Crossing of Antarctica^[1]

The Crossing of Antarctica is a good source for the expedition. But then, I have always enjoyed this type of book: autobiographical, adventure.
