'Meet Peter Clarkson'

Who is Peter? Why can't he write his own autobiography? He's too busy being a Polar Scientist.

The LGfL footage provides an introduction to Peter Clarkson and allows the time to gain an additional insight into what he has achieved.

There is an opportunity here for some interesting questioning of each other and a good test for observational skills.

Prepare to get inside the mind of a Polar Scientist!
