G. Murray Levick

(1876 - 1956)

G. Murray Levick made his famous observations of the social, courting, and mating habits of penguins—published in book form as Antarctic Penguins: A Study of Their Social Habits—as a member of Robert Falcon Scott’s second and final expedition to Antarctica, acting as a surgeon and zoologist while in Victoria Land for two years. Over the course of the rest of his life, he served in both world wars, had a distinguished medical career focused on maintaining physical fitness and rehabilitation from illness and injury, and founded the British Schools Exploring Society.
