The remote, inhospitable island of South Georgia has been a draw for climbers for many decades now.

With difficulty of access and extreme weather conditions, expeditions are not always successful. But in 2016, an expedition very much bucked that trend, making first ascents of Starbuck Peak and Mount Baume - two of the most technical and impressive peaks climbed on the island to date.

Simon Richardson will tell us more about this expedition and hopefully whet your appetite for your own South Atlantic adventures.

There is no official charge for entry, but we do ask those non-members who are able to make a small contribution to allow the lectures to keep running.

If you are unable to attend the lecture in person, members will be able to access a video recording of the talk shortly after the event via the 'Lecture Archive' section of the 'Member Login' drop-down menu. (You will need to log into the website to see this).
