From the 1993/94 Orient Lines Marco Polo brochure...

Dr. Bernard Stonehouse

Dr. Bernard Stonehouse first visited Antarctica in 1946 as a Royal Navy pilot for the Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey (later the British Antarctic Survey). He studied penguins and seals on the Antarctic Peninsula, king penguins on South Georgia, and deer, Dall's sheep and other sub-polar species in the Yukon. He taught at universities in Britain, New Zealand and North America and is currently attached to the Scott Polar Research Institute, Cambridge, where, among other things, he edits the prestigious journal, Polar Record. His books include Animals of the Antarctic and Penguins and Sea Mammals of the World.


Side note

On August 14, 1995, I was informed by an anonymous e-mail from someone apparently at the Scott Polar Research Institute that Dr Beau Riffenburgh is now the editor of the Polar Record, and that the change actually occurred several years ago. (The e-mail message didn't have a name attached, but I don't think that it was really intended to be anonymous.)
