Human Endeavour in Antarctica and Space: Inspiring stories from the end of the Earth and beyond.
On the 10th June 2016, the University of Northampton will host the conference ‘Human Endeavour in Antarctica and Space‘. Using Antarctica and Space as the context, the accomplished conference speakers will discuss a variety of topics connected to science, exploration and endeavour, photography and entrepreneurship.
Antarctica has often been used as a context to study humans in isolation and served as an analogue environment for human spaceflight.
