Lineup and details for Edward Wilson's Antarctic Notebooks on Wednesday 21st March 2012
13th Annual De Ferrieres Lecture
Edward Wilson's Antarctic Notebooks
The Science, Faith and Art of a Polar Pioneer
Dr Edward Wilson was born in Cheltenham and lived much of his life in the town. He was the Scientific Officer on Scott's 1910-12 expedition, as well as being its artist and a member of the team that reached the South Pole on 17th January 1912. A pioneering scientist, a deep mystic, and among the last of the great expedition artists, Wilson's work revolutionised the way we understand the world.
A century after his famous death, Dr David Wilson, the noted Polar historian and great-nephew of Dr Edward Wilson, will guide us through his great-uncle's work, whilst adding a personal dimension to this centenary occasion.
