Scientific work in the Falkland Islands by the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition, 1903 & 1904
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The 1902-1904 Scottish National Antarctic Expedition (SNAE) is one of the least celebrated enterprises of the ‘Heroic Era’ of Antarctic exploration. Led by William Speirs Bruce (1867-1921) it set sail aboard Scotia on 2nd November 1902 from Troon on the Firth of Clyde, bound for the Weddell Sea and the South Orkney Islands. Port Stanley was reached on 6 January 1903, so beginning the first of the expedition’s three visits to the Falkland Islands (Figure 1): 6-26 January 1903, 2-8 December 1903, and 30 January to 9 February 1904. The second and third of these visits took place during Scotia’s summer voyage from the South Orkneys to Buenos Aires to effect repairs and take on supplies, and her return journey to the South Orkneys to relieve the team that had been left there for the austral summer and then to continue the Weddell Sea explorations.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
