November’s first Maritime Forum will be mainly about mapping and exploration: ‘The Heroic Age of Antarctica’ concerns the brief but intense period from the 1890s to the First World War with the Scott, Shackleton, Mawson, Amundsen, and many other expeditions.
Robert Headland is a researcher of Cambridge University’s Scott Polar Research Institute who has worked as a guide in Antarctica for years.
This Maritime Forum will be in English.
The Maritime Forums are free for everyone. The forum will begin at 18.00 and we shall meet shortly before it near the Desk at the Seaplane Harbour.
