Résumé (en anglais)

This second publication from the ICOMOS International Polar Heritage Committee (IPHC) is the result of a conference held at the Barrow Arctic Science Consortium in Barrow, Alaska 24-27 September 2007. The conference, entitled “Protection and Preservation of Historic Scientific Bases in the Polar Regions”, was part of the extensive scientific programme gathered under the auspices of the 4th International Polar Year (IPY) 2007-09. The 1st IPY took place in 1882-83, followed by the 2nd in 1932-33 and the 3rd, actually called the International Geophysical Year (IGY), in 1957-58. These scientific events were a manifestation of the will in the scientific community to nurture and extend international cooperation over and above short-term national advancement. In a similar vein the IPHC itself was established in November 2000 to advance international cooperation within the mixed scientific disciplines of polar heritage conservation. The first three IPYs have left us tangible remains of bases and activities in the polar regions. In addition to this, science has been a noteworthy part of many expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctic, encompassing a range of disciplines stretching from cartographical mapping and investigations of natural resources to studies of geophysical phenomena and climate change. (…) The many historical bases that are now scattered around the polar regions have suffered various fates. From the 1st IPY there are remains ranging from scattered pieces of equipment and building parts to complete and well-preserved buildings. From both earlier and later scientific bases there is also a wide range of remains that are often the magnets that draw today’s polar tourists from site to site through the southernmost and northernmost regions of the planet. In connection with the 4th IPY, it was natural for the IPHC to focus on the status of historical scientific bases in the polar regions today. The conference in Barrow not only promoted presentations dealing with sites ranging from the historic huts of Antarctica to the remains of German meteorological bases in the Arctic from the 2nd World War, it also gave the opportunity for conservation experts from both polar regions to discuss topics such as management, conservation techniques, accessibility and the recording and dissemination of data and information. Included in this was the unique opportunity for the conference participants to discuss directly via a video-telephone link with conservators working at New Zealand’s Scott Base in Antarctica on artefacts from Scott’s and Shackleton’s huts.
