| 释义 |
The Erebus Chalice is a silver and gilt chalice gifted to the National Science Foundation in 1987 for use in the Chapel of the Snows at McMurdo Station in Antarctica, where it is now kept on display during austral summers. At the time of its gifting, the Chalice was believed to have been carried aboard (and thus named after) {{HMS|Erebus|1826|6}}, one of the two ships of the Ross Expedition—the other was {{HMS|Terror|1813|6}}—that mapped Antarctica in 1839–1843.[1][2] In 2006 the Canterbury Museum, Christchurch discovered that the chalice actually had been made in London circa 1910 and therefore could not have sailed aboard Erebus.[3] References1. ^{{cite book|author=Nicholas Johnson|title=Big Dead Place: Inside the Strange and Menacing World of Antarctica|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=iIdaA9AUQeIC&pg=PA311|date=April 2011|publisher=ReadHowYouWant.com|isbn=978-1-4596-1749-0|pages=311–}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.odt.co.nz/regions/queenstown-lakes/pace-life-increasing-mcmurdo|title=Pace of life increasing at McMurdo|date=14 October 2009|publisher=}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2018/02/erebus-chalice-antarctica/552107/|title=One of Antarctica's Most Celebrated Relics Isn't What It Seems|first=Fortunato|last=Salazar|publisher=}} 3 : McMurdo Station|Chalices|Culture of Antarctica |
