Scott of the Antarctic Exhibition
'Scott of the Antarctic' was a naval officer and explorer, who died attempting to be the first to reach the South Pole in 1912. His son Peter, aged just two when his father and his companions perished, went on to found the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust (WWT); parent charity of WWT Castle Espie Wetland Centre.
From 12 November, WWT Castle Espie is hosting an exclusive Scott of the Antarctic exhibition, marking the 100th anniversary of Captain Scott's intrepid journey.
Visitors can discover more about Scott’s historic expedition and those of other polar explorers through stunning photographs and by handling and trying on real polar exploration equipment. They can also view a copy of his last letter, which went on to inspire Sir Peter Scott to become one of the greatest conservationists of our time. Exhibition runs from 10am each day until the 28th November.
