Educating and Inspiring

"Never for me the lowered banner, never the last endeavour".

Ernest Shackleton (Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition 1914-17)

 

The names of Captain Robert Falcon Scott and Sir Ernest Shackleton are as well known today as they were a century ago.  Their spirit of adventure, values and leadership qualities remain just as relevant today as they did then. 

 

As the Ross Sea Heritage Restoration Project gains momentum the Trust is also turning its attention to its second objective: forming strategic partnerships with institutions to educate and inspire another generation to go out and explore and discover. 

 

As part of the initiative the Trust has joined with the Natural History Museum, London to profile the two organisations' strong links to Antarctic exploration and science.  You can follow the lives of our conservators working year round in Antarctica via our blog.
