I spent three austral summers driving Zodiacs and lecturing on Antarctic history for tourists visiting the Antarctic Peninsula and the Scotia Arc. I don't know if I'll get back to that role but I certainly hope the future holds further opportunities in the south.

> The United Nations on Thursday recognised a new record high temperature for the Antarctic continent, confirming a reading of 18.3 degrees Celsius made last year.
> The record heat was reached at Argentina's Esperanza research station on the Antarctic Peninsula on February 6, 2020, the UN's World Meteorological Organization said.
> The previous verified record for the Antarctic continent-the mainland and its surrounding islands-was 17.5C recorded at Esperanza on March 24, 2015.
> Past evaluations have shown that such conditions are conducive for producing record temperatures, the WMO said.
> The new record at Esperanza will be added to the WMO's archive of weather and climate extremes.
> The lowest temperature ever recorded on Earth was minus 89.2C recorded at Vostok station in Antarctica on July 21, 1983.

Here is a link to the free e-book in whose preface the plan is presented together with the 24 "fundamental and unalterable laws" that Alexander Dalrymple crafted for his proposed colony.
The proposed colonization area was all lands and islands in the Southern Atlantic region between longitudes 0Β° to 60Β° West of Greenwich.
Dalrymple specifically talks of the hypothetical Southern Continent extending from latitude 40Β°S at the northernmost down towards the South Pole, actually Antarctica is that continent, although far less extensive northwards than he thought.
He also discusses a large island in the South Atlantic region discovered by the French Huguenot-British merchant sailor Anthony de la Roche in 1675, which was marked in the 18th century maps with the names I. de la Roche (actually there were two distinct islands in different places sometimes in a same map) or I. Grande. Historians of geography agree that de la Roche actually found the island now known as South Georgia but miscalculated its position, as was common in the era due to the undeveloped measurement technologies of that time.
Here is another source where the plan is mentioned. It explicitly states that the plan of Dalrymple was to colonize Isla Grande, that is, South Georgia.
In this New Zealand Journal of History article Dalrymple's scheme is discussed briefly.
This source erroneously claims that Dalrymple envisioned a republican colony on the island. That is an absurd take because Barons would ha
