British Polar 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 500 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.

The OXFORD UNIVERSITY EXPLORATION CLUB (OUEC) exists to help improve knowledge of our world through overseas exploration by members of Oxford University. We aim to inspire, encourage and assist exploration in all its manifestations. It’s something we’ve been doing for over 75 years, making us the oldest such club in the world. To this day the Club’s members lead expeditions that push back the boundaries of our knowledge about the world around us.Our members have now travelled to virtually every region of the world — yet there is still much to discover! Recent expeditions to Tibet, the Congo, Greenland, Trinidad, Mongolia, Svalbard, Namibia, Papua New Guinea and the remote Comoros Islands have discovered new species of birds, insects and plants, published scientific papers on the rainforest canopy, found some of the world’s deepest caves, scaled unclimbed peaks and recorded the folk music of nomads; all in co-operation and collaboration with local people and organisations.
