Shackleton was the great Irish explorer of the Polar regions but since the Poles had already been conquered by others he decided that he should attempt a sledge crossing of the Antarctic continent.
However, his ship the Endurance was soon caught in the ice. Carol will tell of the crew's incredible survival against all odds and their eventual rescue, illustrated by photographs and contemporary reports and artifacts.
Carol has visited the Society on several occasions. She lives in Brockley and is an experienced speaker and co-author with her husband Mike Brown.
Doors open 9.45am. The meeting / talk will start at 10.30am and end by 12.30pm.
The Talk venue has a large, free car park but it is shared with other users and can be busy at times.
No booking, just turn up.
The Society is a registered charity and membership fees and donations are an important part of our income. The Talk is free to members but guests and visitors are asked to make a donation towards hall hire and speaker's fee. There will be a donations box at the venue.
