The annotated books and unpublished files of the man who wrote The Worst Journey in the World.

Lecture / talkHistoryBooks & writersFree

At Royal Geographical Society.

Apsley Cherry-Garrard went to Antarctica with Scott, made the midwinter journey to Cape Crozier for emperor penguin eggs, and afterwards wrote the best book to come out of polar exploration. His nephew Hugh Turner has been through what he left - a library full of marginalia, photographs, documents - and shows what is in it. Free, in the Education Centre.
