Proposals will open tomorrow! On May 31, 1911, Edward Wilson gave “a very interesting lecture” on sketching, explaining his methods of rough sketch and written colour record, and how to manage cold fingers! Do you, have a specific subject or talent you want to share with us?
February 27, 2025 at 5:17 PM
Remember to register by the 28th if you want to get involved in this - we'll be there!
Interested in polar archives?

3 days left until proposals open! Maybe you’re thinking of submitting something about “modern physiography,” like Griff Taylor did on May 5, 1911 for the winter lecture series on the Terra Nova expedition...
February 25, 2025 at 3:45 PM
5 days left until proposals open! Perhaps you’re considering submitting your take on “ice problems," a topic on which Charles “Silas” Wright gave a talk that “left many… somewhat befogged” during the Terra Nova expedition’s winter lecture series. We want to hear from you!
February 23, 2025 at 8:19 PM
7 days until proposals open! During the Terra Nova expedition's winter lecture series, Scott was somewhat disappointed by Frank Debenham's geological lecture, calling it "elementary." But we promise we won't be disappointed by your topic – we're excited to see what everyone has in store!
