Bermuda-based reinsurer, Catlin Group, is the primary sponsor of an exhibition opening this week at the Natural History Museum in London that sheds new light on the ill-fated Antarctic expedition in 1910 led by Captain Robert Falcon Scott.Scott’s Last Expedition, which will run from January 20 until September, will take a new look at this landmark journey 100 years on. According to the company, the exhibition “will look at everyday life in the base-camp hut, examine the saga of human endurance and reveal the remarkable scientific achievements of the expedition, a story that has been largely untold until now.”As part of the 1910-1913 Terra Nova expedition, Scott led the largest team of scientists that had to date visited Antarctica. The expedition returned with thousands of zoological and geological specimens. They also collected large quantities of data that fundamentally contributed to what is now known about the continent. More than 40,000 specimens collected by Scott’s Terra Nova expedition are held in the Natural History Museum’s collections.Catlin was the title sponsor of the Catlin Arctic Survey, a three-year scientific project from 2009-2011 to gather data that researchers are currently using to predict how climate change and other environmental changes could impact the Arctic and the rest of the planet.“We at Catlin are proud to sponsor this important exhibition at the Natural History Museum in London,” said Stephen Catlin, chief executive of Catlin Group Ltd.“Scientists learned much from the information gathered by the Scott expedition, just as they are now learning from the data collected through the Catlin Arctic Survey. Whilst Scott and his brave companions died nearly a century ago, there is still a lot we can learn from their exploration of Antarctica.”
