 Scott
Polar Research Institute, Cambridge
Located
just around the corner from the Fitzwilliam Museum, the Scott Institute
houses the most important and highly respected library and archive
of polar studies in the world.
The museum
was founded in 1920 as a memorial to Robert Falcon Scott, who died
while leading an expedition to the South Pole. The museum showcases
artefacts from polar exploration, including diaries, sleds, and displays
on life in arctic regions. There is a very large photographic library
relating to polar exploration, and extensive geographic and historical
information in the archives.
The Scott
Polar Research Institute is part of the Faculty of Earth Sciences
and Geography at Cambridge University.
