Tom will discuss the expedition to the Arctic led by Isaac Hayes, which overwintered at Port Foulke on the north-west coast of Greenland. The earliest photographs of the high Arctic were taken during the expedition and the talk will include many of these as well as original drawings made by Hayes and other crew members.
