Origin of the name "Challenger"
The "Challenger Expedition" from 1872 to 1874 took place in the Great Southern Ocean as a
scientific expedition to sample the vast sea beds. HMS Challenger a corvette of 2306 tonnes,
combining steam and sail carried out the expedition under the direction of Sir George Nares.
Reports from the expedition occupy fifty volumes and many of the samples collected are
stored at the Natural History Museum in London. Many of the samples collected by the
scientific staff are still to be examined.
The safe preservation of samples is essential for future scientific study. Challenger Geological
