Ice Station RGS

With concerns increasing around the severe shift in the Earth’s climate, the Royal Geographical Society is working with artist Michèle Noach on an evening of immersive entertainment that aims to stimulate discussion and reflect on the feelings ice evokes in us all.

The Society’s building in South Kensington, London, will be transformed, offering the opportunity to hear from indigenous Arctic voices, those who have trekked to the poles, and individuals at the cutting edge of policy and research into our cold environments.

Appearances over the evening include:

Poet Nancy Campbell; materials scientist Mark Miodownik; actor and writer Isabel Adomakoh Young; writer, songwriter and granddaughter of Kathleen Scott, Louisa Young; musician and Penguin Café member Arthur Jeffes;

Musician and member of Hot Chip Alexis Taylor; visual and sound artist Max Eastley; artist and daughter of Augustine Courtauld Susie Hamilton; choreographer and dancer Suba Subramaniam; writer Michel Faber; science journalist Quentin Cooper;

Broadcaster John Simpson CBE and his son Rafe, polar oceanographer Mark Brandon, and scientists from the British Antarctic Survey, Scott Polar Research Institute and Greenpeace
