Trans-Antarctic expedition: the second 100 days.

On July 27, 1989, six men and 39 sled dogs embarked on the first trans-Antarctic dog, sled, and ski crossing. Data sheets were developed and a review of their day-by-day reports was carried out. The period of time covered is November 3, 1989, to February 10, 1990. Miles traveled were recorded for each day and varied from no progress to 31 miles for a single day. A running account of the total miles traveled was also maintained in relationship to the number of days traveled. Radio contact was maintained when conditions permitted. They were able to make calls home and as far away as Paris, France. The time traveled was summarized where recorded and weather conditions particularly were reviewed and maintained. Land conditions, visibility, and cloud formations were discussed. The average temperature varied from -8 degrees C to -48 degrees C (-54 degrees F). Wind conditions and land locations were recorded, as were difficulties encountered on each day. High-calorie foods were eaten. One dog ate as many as 12,000 calories per day. Following a review of appropriate topics, a summary of the conditions is given.

[Franco-Mexican medical action and the Mexican Expedition (1864-1867)].

In the days when French expeditionary troops were fighting in Mexico, Napoleon the Third founded a "Mexican Scientific Committee" in the same wave length as his uncle, General Bonaparte in Egypt. The Committee was headquartered in Paris and since April 1864, a "Franco-Mexican Committee" took place at Mexico-City. The medical branch was led, in Paris, by the Baron Hippolyte Larrey and chaired on the spot by Dr Ehrmann; it will become the "Academia de Medicina de Mexico" and published the "Gaceta Medica". Numerous researchs were undertaken and most of them printed in the "Gaceta Medica" with some regards to many diseases, particuliarly Yellow Fever and Typhus. The Academia and Gaceta will last long after war ending and, in 1970, a special session was hallowed to their foundation, more than one century before.
