Arctic Explorer Adolphus Greely

In 1884 Arctic explorer Adolphus Greely returned to Porstmouth a hero after a harrowing expedition that ended up lasting 3 years. Only six men from the original crew of 26 survived the trip. We're going to look back at what went wrong on that journey and retrace the explorer’s footsteps through a new film that raises questions about the endurance of Greely’s legacy. Our guests are Jeff Clark, the executive producer of Abandoned in the Arctic and the man who organized the present-day expedition, and filmmaker Gino del Guercio who directed and produced the new film. The film is premiering at The Music Hall in Portsmouth on Saturday, June 23rd. And exhibit on the Greely expedition opens June 21st at the Portsmouth Athaeneum.
