Duncan Carse
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Duncan Carse was a British actor and explorer, who died on the 2nd May, 2004, aged 90.
From 1949-51, he was the voice of Special Agent Dick Barton on BBC Radio, for 711 episodes.
He was part of the South Georgia Survey during the fifties, surveying much of the interior of the island - Mount Carse is named for him. He was an explorer with a special place in South Georgia’s history. His comprehensive 1951-57 survey of the island resulted in the classical 1:200000 topographic map of South Georgia, occasionally updated but never superseded since its first publication by the British Directorate of Overseas Surveys in 1958.
In 1961, he decided to become a modern day Robinson Crusoe, and became a hermit at Ducloz Head on the south coast of South Georgia.
