Wordie's interest in expedition and scientific discovery was heightened by these two men.

Linda Wordie closed the workshop with her beautiful singing and guitar playing.

Normal occupancy of Wordie House in its early years was four to five people.

Angela Wordie was on her deck taking in towels when she noticed a plane making a strange sound.

Wordie House is of historic importance as an example of an early British scientific base.

"The people that are actually making the decisions can't appreciate going to an outdoor market," said Jason Wordie, a local historian.

Wordie became a recognised expert on polar explorations, consulted by generations of later explorers.

Wordie sailed on nine polar expeditions, including Endurance.

"I knew right away the plane was in big trouble," said Wordie, who described the plane as sounding "loud, like a helicopter."

Dr. McIlroy was head of the scientific staff, which included Wordie.

Wordie, 25 when invited to join, was fit and an experienced Alpine climber who hoped to be chosen for the shore party.

Angela Wordie, a neighbor, said she was outside on her backyard deck when she saw the plane above her house.

Her husband's maternal grandfather was Sir James Wordie.

His first expedition was to Greenland in 1929 with his tutor James Wordie.

As a young man his tutor at Cambridge had been James Wordie, Scott's chief of scientific staff.

"People realize it's where they live, it's where they're going to stay," said Jason Wordie, a local historian.

However, the newly built fort was primitive and - in the words of local historian Jason Wordie - "quite small and relatively insignificant".

The station was renamed Faraday and it continued the longstanding meteorological program that began at Wordie House.

The Wordie Ice Shelf on the Antarctic Peninsula was named in his honour.

He became the elder statesman of British polar exploration, and few expeditions left Britain without first consulting Wordie.

The Wordie Creek Formation is a geologic formation in Greenland.

Wordie House has been restored and is designated as Historic Site and Monument No. 62.

The pass provides a sledge route between Wordie Ice Shelf and Eureka Glacier.

Wordie added that she saw a woman kneeling on the front lawn of 64 Charter Oak Avenue, screaming, 'My children!'
