South African involvement in the study of Antarctic Meteorology began several years prior to the first South African National Antarctic Expedition (SANAE I) of 1959/60. The extent of this involvement is portrayed in the book Meteorology of the Antarctic, published by the Weather Bureau in 1957. Edited by M P van Rooy, this publication is representative of an era when South Africans were at the forefront of research into the meteorology of the then, highly spot-lighted, relatively unknown continent.
