April 28 General Meeting – Antarctica: a Wild, White Wilderness

Stories from the heroic age of Antarctic Exploration from those who have been there.

Tim and Jenny Griffiths have recently returned from the Antarctic Peninsula.

Tim is the author of the historical novel Endurance  which tells the story of the Shackleton expedition through the eyes of photographer Frank Hurley. Tim has done 4 trips to Antarctica as a history lecturer/guide with Aurora Expeditions and Jenny has visited the Antarctic as a guest with Aurora Expeditions. Tim is currently planning his own expedition to carry out a heritage survey of the site of Shackleton’s encampment on Elephant Island.

Tim and Jenny have some wonderful Antarctic photos. Tim will regale us with stories from the heroic age of Antarctic Exploration and especially his fascination with  the Shackleton story.
