The exhibition not only highlights the 'Worst Journey in the World' – the winter journey to collect eggs from the Emperor penguin colony at Cape Crozier – but also the largely forgotten 'Northern Party' – six men stranded for 21 months and forced to shelter from the brutal Antarctic winter in a cave dug into the snow.
