This is a section on flags with connections to the Antarctic. Some of those shown are 'sledge flags' (indicated by the 'sf' at the start of the caption), others are flags that were taken on journeys or were flown on ships. The photographs were taken by Robert Stephenson unless otherwise noted. Some sources are unknown. Some were scanned from Christie's catalogues.
It is definitely a work in progress. More will be added and more information on those already appearing with be included as well.
A new section on 'Antarctic Flags' will, in time, be added to the
http://www.antarctic-circle.org website.
