Two years ago, I discovered a love story hidden within Scott’s last Antarctic expedition—between two of his officers, Pennell and Atkinson. They survived the tragedy which took Scott’s life and shocked the world, but further dangers still lay ahead for them.

The Love Story Hiding in a Legendary Tragedy
Captain Robert Falcon Scott’s doomed journey to Antarctica captivated the world. But hidden within the legend was a story that has never been told—a love affair between two of the crew who survived.

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?

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!

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!
