Antarctic research[]
Haddelsey is the author of four books on the history of British and Commonwealth Antarctic exploration, including biographies of Frank Bickerton, mechanical engineer on the Australasian Antarctic Expedition of 1911-14 and Joseph Russell Stenhouse, who commanded the Aurora on the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition of 1914-17. More recently, Haddelsey has focused on "post-Heroic" expeditions, including Operation Tabarin and the Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition of 1955-58 led by Sir Vivian Fuchs. He has edited and introduced Andrew Taylor's Two Years Below the Horn: A Personal Memoir of Operation Tabarin, which is due for publication by The Erskine Press in 2017.
He is also a contributor to the Polar Record (Cambridge University Press).
