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
90-587: Is the historical name for the Australian Antarctic Program (AAP) administered for Australia by the Australian Antarctic Division (AAD). Australia has had a long involvement in south polar regions since as early as Douglas Mawson 's Australasian Antarctic Expedition in 1911.

105-769: The Australian coat of arms to bring the livery of the AAD in line with the rest of the Australian Public Service. However like the ANARE name the logo continues to be used on an informal basis by expeditioners each year in the production of Antarctic Station badges, T-shirts and other memorabilia.

Its headquarters are in Melbourne, Australia , with branches in most Australian capital cities. Membership
120-558: The first woman to set foot on the Antarctic continent. The Vestfold Hills are named after Vestfold , a county in Norway where Sandefjord , headquarters of the whaling industry, is located. This hill area and its off-lying islands were mapped from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition (1936–37). Further brief landings were made by Lincoln Ellsworth and several claims were made by Hubert Wilkins in 1939. The area
135-406: The hills range between 30 and 90 metres (98 and 300 ft) in height, with the highest summit reaching nearly 160 metres (520 ft). The Vestfold Hills are largely snow- and ice-free and are thus classified as an Antarctic oasis . They contain a great variety of lake systems with over 300 lakes and ponds including what is possibly the largest concentration of meromictic (stratified) lakes in

That symbol served until 1985, when a new 'globe' logo based on the Australian and Antarctic continents was developed by the AAD . At the same time the term ANARE fell out of official use the 'globe' logo was also discarded in favour of
165-421: The term informally as a means of identification with the long and continuous history of Australian expeditions to Antarctica. Soon after being appointed Antarctic Division director in 1949, Dr. Phillip Law saw the need for a recognisable symbol for the fledgling ANARE.
