Walton, David W.H. ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7103-4043. 1985 Profile: Albert Borlase Armitage. Polar Record, 22 (140). 511-518. 10.1017/S0032247400005969

Abstract
Albert Armitage was the second in command of both the Jackson-Harmsworth expedition of 1884–1897 and R. F. Scott's British National Antarctic Expedition, 1901–1904. He never led an expedition himself; as Frank Debenham wrote (1944), ‘For polar work his mind was perhaps not quite flexible enough or his aims were not sufficiently ambitious to make him lead an expedition of his own.’ Despite this he played a leading role in both expeditions, and contributed significantly to Arctic and Antarctic exploration.
