Unspoilt World? Arctic Geopolitics and modern exploration

The Arctic is often seen as an inhospitable, unexplored area, yet people have lived there for 1000s of years. As the region heats up, so do discussions surrounding the exploration and potential exploitation of arctic resources. Join us for a panel discussion with arctic researchers, ecologists and explorers as they debate current research and commercial exploration of the arctic region.

This event is part of the contemporary maritime series in partnership with the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich. The first talk is on 16 September 2019, Stranger tides: Treasure, plastic and circumnavigating ducks.
