Terrifyingly Alien, Magnificent and Merciless

In May 2007, two helicopter pilots, Jennifer Murray and Colin Bodill, set a new world record, becoming the first pilots to fly around the world via the South and North Poles. Join as she presents a stunning slideshow of their epic and courageous five-and-a-half month journey over 25 countries, flying more than 33,000 nautical miles. Almost a century before Murray’s flight to the Poles, Robert Falcon Scott led a doomed Terra Nova expedition to Antarctica in a race against the Norwegians to reach the South Pole. In his book, Death on the Ice, Robert Ryan, in conversation with Stephen McCarty, traces the paths that led the explorers to their deaths, bringing them to life and, without judgment, letting them tell their own stories. For those of you who are fascinated by what lies at the extremes of our planet, both geographically and environmentally, join these two remarkable authors for a double-billed talk followed by a jazz reception with wine and canapés.
