Talk

Antarctic Talk Series: From Secret Missions to the Penguin Post Office: The Story of the UK Antarctic Heritage Trust

19 February 2026
19:00-20:30
£10

Our annual Antarctic Talk Series returns in 2026!

The proceeds of these talks helps towards the stability to the museum during the quieter winter months.

On the 19th February we will be joined by Helen Langwick from the UK Antarctic Heritage Trust.

How do you manage a museum at the bottom of the world? Join us for a fascinating insight into the UK Antarctic Heritage Trust. We will explore the Trust’s origins and the captivating history of the sites we protect—from the secret wartime expedition known as Operation Tabarin to the early days of scientific research. Discover how we conserve these frozen time capsules and bridge the 9,000-mile gap to inspire the public and bring the wonder of Antarctica to life for a global audience.
