Wilfrid Barbrooke Grubb (1865-1930) was an explorer and missionary, who travelled with the South American Missionary Society to the Chaco regions of Paraguay Bolivia, and Argentina. He was a remarkably brave and intrepid man, opening a large portion of the remotest parts of Paraguay to foreigners after having been warned that he was risking his life.

He spent eight winters in the Antarctic and is a descendent of Captain George Back. In addition, he served as base commander at Halley, Faraday and Rothera stations.
