The Dark Side of the Poles: Dreams and Nightmares in Polar Exploration runs until 3rd November 2012 in the UK, as part of the University of Cambridge Festival of Ideas…

“Throughout the Festival, explore our trail of polar dreams and nightmares. Find untold secrets hidden in drawers and strange objects that have crept into the cases.”

The BBC has a companion essay on the topic, from Fred Lewsey of the University of Cambridge.
