| Title: | Mt. Vinson and the evolution of US policy on Antarctic mountaineering, 1960-1966 / John Evans, Philip M. Smith. |
| Author(s): | Evans, John. Smith, Philip M. |
| Date: | 2014. |
| In: | Polar Record. (2014.), Vol. 50(254) (2014) |
| Abstract: | Discusses competition within US and international climbing communities to make first ascent of Mt. Vinson in Sentinel Range, highest peak in Antarctica. US post-IGY policy prohibited adventure expeditions that could divert logistic resources from scientific programme, but change of policy in 1960s resulted in 1966-67 American Antarctic Mountaineering Expedition, which achieved first ascent of Vinson and five other high peaks. |
