John Riddoch Rymill (1905-1968), polar explorer and farmer, was the leader of the expedition; he was born in Penola, South Australia, a grandson of the pioneer John Riddoch. 'Rymill's party proved that Graham Land was part of a continental extension (now the Antarctic Peninsula). They discovered a southern, permanently frozen channel, later named King George VI Sound, islanding Alexander I Land (now Alexander Island) and extending to the Bellingshausen Sea. The B.G.L.E. logistics were innovative in Antarctica. Outstanding sledging with dogs, especially over sea ice, was backed by air support and depot laying; the use of a motor launch probing ahead to plot a route for "Penola" through uncharted, rock-strewn waters, was original and successful. The "Penola" covered 26,896 miles (43,283 km) mostly under sail' ('Australian Dictionary of Biography').
