About this event
The Arctic Circle, 1913. Charismatic explorer Vilhjalmur Stefansson believes Wrangel Island will control the future of the northern hemisphere: routes, resources, even the balance of power. In a bid to claim this frozen speck of land for the British Empire he dispatches a small, ill- equipped venture. Catastrophe ensues, with geopolitical risk, polar bears and an unlikely survivor. Internationally bestselling historian Giles Milton returns to Henley with the sweeping Empire at the Edge of the World.
