Tim McKellar
DATE: Thursday 2 July 2004
TIME: 1.30 - 3.00pm
Te Papa invites you to join an exclusive video conference to chat with Tim McKellar – one of the educators behind Antarctic Heroes – The race to the South Pole, the exhibition currently showing at TePapa
The exhibition tells the epic stories of Scott, Amundsen and Shackleton as they race to reach the South Pole first. It asks why these men were so passionate about reaching the pole, tells stories of endurance and bravery, and reveals the critical factors that led the teams to either success or terrible tragedy.
Talk with Tim about:
- surviving in -65oC temperatures
- madness, heroism, and heartbreaking decisions
- the Kiwi hero of the Endurance expedition
- the journeys of Scott, Shackleton, and Amundsen
- Antarctica and its environment today
Join this rare opportunity to find out what it was really like on the ice 100 years ago.
