SOLD OUT: Antarctic Explorers Home Educators Workshop

Thursday 6th May 10.30am- 12.30pm

What is it like to be an Antarctic explorer? Telling the story of Captain Scott’s ill-fated expedition to the South Pole in 1912, this session focusses on the equipment, clothing and rations used on Scott’s expedition and compares it to that of modern-day Antarctic explorers.

Please note: the story told includes the death of Scott and his four companions as well as brief references to the deaths of the ponies used on the expedition. This will be explained sensitively and in an age-appropriate way, if you have any questions beforehand please contact us at fsc@gilbertwhiteshouse.org.uk
