Once again it's the high holy day of the Terra Nova calendar, and once again we must remember that the people who died were also alive. worstjourney.com/2024/03/29/m...

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.

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.

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?

Remember to register by the 28th if you want to get involved in this - we'll be there!

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...

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!

The Brink of Erasure The impending demolition of the National Archives Annexe is a crisis, not just for the study of history, but for Indian democracy.

"Uninhibited access to archives is — and should be — an essential characteristic of a democracy."

On this day in 1874: the birth of Ernest Shackleton! Best known for leading three expeditions to the Antarctic, he helped found the South Polar Times on Scott’s 1901 Discovery Expedition
