There will be a film screening of "Spitsbergen Retraced" followed by a Q&A session at 5.15pm on Tuesday 16 October in the Scott Polar Research Institute Lecture Theatre. In 1923, four students from Oxford University made the first crossing of the Spitsbergen ice cap. 93 years later, four students returned to the Arctic in their footsteps, to retrace this epic journey. The film "Spitsbergen retraced" tells the story of the 2016 unsupported expedition. The film examines elements of Arctic landscape, glaciology and historical exploration and also provides a useful introduction to those considering expeditions within the Circumpolar North.
