About this record
The British Australian New Zealand Antarctic Research Expeditions (BANZARE) (1929–30 and 1930–31) successfully charted over 2000 miles of previously unexplored coastline. Bad weather and heavy pack ice made landfall difficult. On 13 January 1930 the first landing of the two voyages was made at Proclamation Island at 53° East. British sovereignty was claimed over Kemp Land, Enderby Land and the newly-named Mac.Robertson Land. During the second voyage three more coastal landings were made between Proclamation Island and Cape Denison. On the final day of the second voyage a proclamation was made at Cape Bruce at 60° East.
