EspañolAUSTRALIAN NATIONAL ANTARCTIC RESEARCH EXPEDITIONS
(Redirected from ANARE)
'Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions' (acronym 'ANARE' is normally pronounced an-'ah'-ree) has served Australia in south polar regions since 1947. In 1948 the Australian Antarctic Division was established to administer ANARE.
ANARE embraces the activities in Antarctica of both government and non-government bodies and individuals, with a central focus on scientific research. The term "ANARE" fell out of official use in the early 2000s, replaced by the phrase "Australian Antarctic program", however current and former Australian expeditioners continue to use the term. Its membership includes:
★ Australian government agencies involved with Antarctic research, including the Antarctic Division itself, the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, the Australian Geological Survey Organisation (AGSO), the Australian Surveying and Land Information Group (AUSLIG) and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO).
★ Non-government organisations, including Australian universities and other research institutions as well as foreign research organisations.
Soon after being appointed Antarctic Division director in 1949, Dr Phillip Law saw the need for a recognisable symbol for the fledgling ANARE. His wife, Nel, was an artist and produced the distinctive and enduring circular emblem that Dr Law described as "...a circular badge whose centre is the Antarctic Continent with the Australian sector shaded. Surrounding this is an annular set of designs depicting flora and fauna of Antarctica and the Sub-Antarctic Islands."
The main ANARE emblem was, in Dr Law's words, "too complex to reproduce as a lapel badge or as a logo on aircraft, vehicles or flags." Dr Law saw potential in the Leopard Seal as a simplified ANARE symbol. "I was struck with the possibility of formalising a sketch of the creature to produce a geometrical pattern of straight lines....I drew it in the national colours of gold and green." That symbol served until 1985, when a new logo based on the Australian and Antarctic continents was developed by the administrative unit in charge of ANARE, the Australian Antarctic Division (Bowden, 1997: 373).
The 'ANARE Club' is a membership organisation established in 1951 for expeditioners, based in Melbourne, Australia with branches in most Australian capital cities. Membership is open to anyone who has travelled to Antarctic or subantarctic regions with the Australian Antarctic Program. It provides a social focus for current and former expeditioners. The club's membership is well over 1,000. Its emblem is the Emperor penguin on a map of Antarctica.
