Part of the short human history of Antarctica is preserved in the historic sites, buildings, written and recorded history, much accessible from online websites (some of which are listed in the footnotes below).

Whilst Captain Cook made the first recorded approach to the continent in 1772, it was over 100 years later, when the first group of expeditioners intentionally overwintered at Cape Adare in 1899.3
