Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. William Speirs Bruce (1 August 1867 28 October 1921) was a London-born Scottish naturalist, polar scientist and oceanographer who organized and led the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition (1902 04) to the South Orkney Islands and the Weddell Sea. Among other achievements, the expedition established the first permanent weather station south of the Antarctic Circle. Bruce later founded the Scottish Oceanographical Laboratory, but his plans for a transcontinental Antarctic march via the South Pole were abandoned because of lack of public and financial support. In 1892 Bruce abandoned his medical studies at the University of Edinburgh and joined the Dundee Whaling Expedition to Antarctica as a scientific assistant. This was followed by Arctic voyages to Novaya Zemlya, Spitsbergen and Franz Josef Land.
