British Explorers plan the coldest and most remote Diamond Jubilee tea party. While the rest of Britain is hanging up the bunting at home, an intrepid British team will be waving flags and eating cake up the highest point of queen Elizabeth Islands in Northern Canada, just 550 miles short of the north pole. The historic Arctic Jubilee Expedition aims to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of HM Queen Elizabeth II by visiting the highest point on the Queen Elizabeth Islands, renamed by Canada on the coronation of HM the Queen in 1952. Barbeau Peak has only been summited 8 times throughout history and is the highest point within the British Empire Range as well as the Arctic Cordillera. More people have summited Everest than Barbeau Peak, outlining the remoteness and the momentous impact of the project.

To celebrate the quest of Captain Scott and his team a century ago, SWGfL are delighted to announce a brilliant writing competition in collaboration with ETE: Education Through Expeditions! 100 years ago, Captain Robert Falcon Scott led a team on an incredible adventure – to reach the South Pole, one of the last unexplored places on earth, at that time. They walked an incredible 800 miles, through fierce blizzards and ice, to reach their goal (on a map, plan a walk from Exeter right through to the other side of Germany!). Sadly, Scott and his colleagues never returned. Their supply of food dwindled, terrible weather set in, frostbite, hunger and exhaustion all took their toll on the brave explorers.
