Lars Christensen made or sponsored several voyages to the Antarctic between 1927-33. While primarily there for whaling and sealing, Christensen had a strong interest in exploration and a lot of good work was done, including several aerial surveys, photography and meteorology. A number of important discoveries were also made. The so called second issue with the four folding maps are not present in the first issue.
