-Two internationally-known Arctic experts help us understand the sheer scale and complexity of John Rae’s 19th-century ventures across polar wastes.
It's taking place on Saturday September 3rd at Orphir Community Hall, from 2pm to 4pm. The speakers, Dr Maria Pia Casarini and Prof. Peter Wadhams, regular visitors to Orkney International Science Festival, are unable to travel and arrangements have been made to bring them in online to join the gathering in the hall, which will include an afternoon tea and an account of Arctic exploration in John Rae's own words, brought by Jim Chalmers. The event hosts, the John Rae Society, will also outline plans for the Hall of Clestrain, John Rae's childhood home.
Polar historian Dr Maria Pia Casarini's presentation describes the complexity and scale of the Arctic geography Rae navigated on his many trips and discoveries.
Sea ice expert Prof. Peter Wadhams brings us up to date on how changing climate conditions are affecting the Arctic ice, opening the way for trade routes and what this might mean for Orkney.
