Polar worlds exhibition at the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich, London

A fantastic day out in the centre of London, the Polar worlds exhibition was perhaps one of the greatest polar exhibitions I think I’ve ever been to, thanks to the artefacts on show.

 

Located in Greenwich (where the RSS Sir David Attenborough was moored up at the time) and free to enter both the National Maritime Museum and the Polar Worlds exhibition, the entire place has so many items of historical significance that it’s impossible to list them all here, however a few of the stand out pieces were Captain Scott’s shoes found on his body, equipment used from early expeditions (such as the pulks, clothing, food, and more).

The exhibition deeply explores the challenges of Arctic and Antarctic living alongside the golden age of exploration, and is supported by the UK Antarctic Heritage Trust, Government of the British Antarctic Territory, and the Transglobe Expedition Trust (Ranulph Fiennes’ charity).
