The Imperial Polar Medal was instituted in 1904 by King Edward VII to recognize distinguished service in the Arctic and Antarctic. Until 1958, all members of an Australian expedition who wintered on the Antarctic continent were awarded the Imperial Polar Medal. Awards were given on a team basis.

In 1968, it was decided that those who wintered-over should receive individual recognition – the Antarctic Service Medallion (known unofficially as the Winterer’s Medal).

Accordingly, between 1968 and 1987 the Polar Medal was issued only for ‘extreme human endeavour against the appalling weather and conditions that exist in the Arctic and Antarctic.’ As a result, fewer expeditioners received the Polar Medal award.

The Polar Medal was replaced by the Australian Antarctic Medal in 1987 which is awarded for ‘outstanding service in scientific research or exploration in connection with an Australian Antarctic expedition or for support of such work’.
