The Irish Explorers Trust will remember the country’s finest explorers by hosting a South Pole weekend from 13-15 January.
The event will kick off with a civic reception in the Tralee County Museum on Friday 13 January. Over the course of the weekend there will also be a number of talks given by South Pole explorers who will share their own extraordinary experiences. Speakers will include Mark Pollock, Mike Barry and Dr. Clare O’Leary. These talks will be held at the Malton Hotel and Killarney Outlet Centre.
Saturday evening will play host to a black tie dinner that will replicate Captain Scott’s gala dinner before his departure to the South Pole in 1910. This dinner will take place in the Malton Hotel, who will also offer special rates if you wish to stay at the hotel.
The Irish Explorers Trust was set up to help secure Irish Explorers Memorabilia for future generations, to ensure that it is held in Irish possession and available to be exhibited here. The collected memorabilia shall remain in the ownership of the group and shall remain in the care of museums to ensure it is maintained correctly.
Tickets for the event are available through the Malton Hotel in Killarney (064 6638000) and Kerry Outdoor Sports – Killarney Outlet Centre (064 6636710) .
