The International Polar Heritage Committee aims "to promote international co-operation in the protection and conservation of non-indigenous heritage in the Arctic and Antarctic." A division of International Council of Monuments and Sites, the IPHC lists 76 historic sites.
Here are links to early (1885-1936) photos of polar travels.
There's also a marathon run there every year.
