A very interesting story on Antarctic place and feature name changes when new maps are issued.
Syd Kirkby recalls his decades of exploration in Antarctica with a twinkle in his eye.There will be more this Friday on the Conversation Hour with Richard Fidler.
Ask him about freezing cold winters and isolation and he'll insist the experience was quite simply marvellous. A privilege.
Syd and his comrades orignally sledged the icy land in the 1950s, giving names to land formations as they trekked.
Recently Syd made a discovery that concerned him. He says the official names he gave to sites in Antarctica have been changed on modern maps.
Update: Don't forget this programme on today from 11am, Queensland time, it sounds interesting. It will be streamed from the website.
