SUMMARY:To the Ends of the Earth: Antarctic Exploration
DESCRIPTION:In 1904\, Lieutenant Armitage gave a lecture at Burnley Mechani
 cs Institute about his experiences on Captain Robert Falcon Scott's Discov
 ery Expedition to Antarctica 1901-1904. More than 120 years later\, Julian
  Evans returns to the Mechanics’ lecture tradition with a fascinating ex
 ploration of the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration and its legacy today.
 \n\nThe lecture will feature a special Magic Lantern Show\, using an elect
 ric lantern similar to the one used by Lt Armitage in 1904\, alongside ori
 ginal glass slides by Herbert Ponting\, photographer on the later Terra No
 va Expedition of 1910–1913.\n\nJulian will explore the story of the Disc
 overy Expedition\, the Terra Nova Expedition and his own family connection
  to it — his grandfather was in command of the Terra Nova expedition fol
 lowing Captain Scott’s death. He will also share photographs and video f
 rom his own journey to Cape Evans\, Antarctica\, in 2013\, undertaken to c
 ommemorate the centenary of the expedition.\n\nThe lecture will also consi
 der Antarctica today\, including its changing environment and the impact o
 f global warming.\n\nPart of Heritage Open Days at Burnley Mechanics.
