March:Shackleton’s Man Goes South (FREE)
As part of the Climate Changing programme for 2013, a new
art installation will open in the atmosphere gallery.
Shackleton’s Man Goes South is an ebook work of fiction. The
work is inspired by author Tony White’s discovery in the
archives of a little-known climate change science fiction
story written in 1911 by the atmospheric scientist (and
Captain Scott’s surviving meteorologist) George Clarke
Simpson for a whimsical shipboard newspaper founded by Sir
Ernest Shackleton. From Simpson’s ‘Heroic Age’ imaginings of
melting polar ice, to a series of interviews with scientists
working at the cutting edge of climate science today, the
story uses fiction and the long prose narrative to explore
the implications of Simpson’s story – and Shackleton’s
legacy – from South Kensington to South Georgia and beyond.
