As a child, Peter Rymill recalls bedtime stories told by his father of polar adventures, husky sledging teams and icy landscapes.
His late father, John Riddoch Rymill, was the Australian leader of the British Graham Land Expedition (BGLE) to Antarctica that took place between 1934 and 1937.
He had learned how to survive in polar conditions from East Greenlanders on an earlier trip to the Arctic.
