Proposals will open tomorrow! On May 31, 1911, Edward Wilson gave “a very interesting lecture” on sketching, explaining his methods of rough sketch and written colour record, and how to manage cold fingers! Do you, have a specific subject or talent you want to share with us?

We might be just as passionate about it as Scott, who said to Griff: “I dreamt of your lecture last night. How could I live so long in the world & not know something of so fascinating a subject!”

3 days left until proposals open! Maybe you’re thinking of submitting something about “modern physiography,” like Griff Taylor did on May 5, 1911 for the winter lecture series on the Terra Nova expedition...

5 days left until proposals open! Perhaps you’re considering submitting your take on “ice problems," a topic on which Charles “Silas” Wright gave a talk that “left many… somewhat befogged” during the Terra Nova expedition’s winter lecture series. We want to hear from you!

7 days until proposals open! During the Terra Nova expedition's winter lecture series, Scott was somewhat disappointed by Frank Debenham's geological lecture, calling it "elementary." But we promise we won't be disappointed by your topic – we're excited to see what everyone has in store!

Jo [/ jɔ /] is a young student from Poland. She plans to study history and French philology. She is working on a project to raise awareness of polar expeditions in her country. Jo is concerned with ecological issues and analyses the work of the Romantics to find solutions to current environmental problems. At the same time, she is trying to write, ride her beloved red mare, do research about 1830's France, buy another ticket for Les Misérables, plan a trip to Rome and look after her ivy.

Fun Fact: You can often meet her at the graves of Arctowski & Dobrowolski, where she lights candles and brings fresh flowers.

Favorite Explorers / Expeditions: Discovery, Terra Nova & Henry Robertson Bowers.

Sledging Flag: Polish flag, pointed tails, crest featuring a red mare prancing in a field of ivy with the motto Vita incipiet cum cras veniet.
