    Stevenson-Waldie, Laura. 2001

    Stevenson-Waldie, Laura. 2001 “The Sensational Landscape: The History of Sensationalist Images of the Arctic, 1818-1910,” 2001. Supervisor: William Morrison UNBC Library call number: G630.G7 S74 2001 ABSTRACT This thesis is a study of the public perception of the Arctic through explorers’ journals and the modern press in America and Britain. The underlying question of this thesis is what exactly was the role of the press in forming public opinions about Arctic exploration in general? Did newspaper editors in America and Britain simply report what they found interesting based upon their own knowledge of Arctic explorers’ journals, or did these editors create that public interest in order to profit from increased sales? From a historical perspective, these reasons relate to the growth of an intellectual and social current that had been gaining strength on the Western World throughout the nineteenth century: the creation of the mythic hero. In essence, the mythical status of Arctic explorers developed in Britain, but was matured and honed in the American press, particularly in the competitive news industry in New York where the creation of the heroic Arctic explorer resulted largely from the vicious competitiveness of the contemporary press. Although the content of published Arctic exploration journals in the early nineteenth century did not change dramatically, the accuracy of those journals did. Exploration journals up until 1850 tended to focus heavily on the conventions of the sublime and picturesque to describe these new lands. However, these views were inaccurate, for these conventions forced the explorer to view the Arctic very much as they viewed the Swiss Alps or the English countryside.

    Jewel Theatre Audience Guide Addendum: London Gentlemen’s Clubs and the Explorers Club in New York City directed by Art Manke by Susan Myer Silton, Dramaturg © 2019 GENTLEMEN’S CLUBS IN LONDON Nell Benjamin describes her fictional Explorers Club in the opening stage directions of the play: We are in the bar of the Explorers club. It is decorated in high Victorian style, with dark woods, leather chairs, and weird souvenirs from various expeditions like snowshoes, African masks, and hideous bits of taxidermy. There is a sofa, a bar, and several cushy club chairs. A stair leads up to club bedrooms. Pictured above is the bar at the Savile Club in London, which is a traditional gentlemen’s club founded in 1868 and located at 69 Brook Street in Mayfair. Most of the gentlemen’s clubs in existence in London in 1879, the time of the play, had been established earlier, and were clustered together closer to the heart of the city. Clubs in the Pall Mall area were: The Athenaeum, est. 1824; The Travellers Club, est. 1819; The (original) Reform Club, 1832; The Army and Navy Club, 1837; Guard’s Club, 1810; United University Club, est. 1821, which became the Oxford and Cambridge Club in 1830; and the Reform Club (second location), est. 1836. Clubs on St. James Street were: Whites, est. 1693; Brooks, est. 1762; Boodles, est. 1762; The Carlton Club, 1832; Pratt’s, est. 1857; and Arthur’s, est. 1827. Clubs in St. James Square were: The East India Club, est. 1849 and Pratt’s, est. 1857.

Each year through its Explorer Awards programme, SES provides grants to individuals leading scientific expeditions that focus on discovery, research, and conservation in remote parts of the world, offering knowledge, education, and community aid. Members and friends enjoy charity events and regular Explorer Talks, and are also given opportunities to join exciting scientific expeditions. SES has an excellent Honorary Advisory Board consisting of famous explorers and naturalists including Sir Ranulph Fiennes, Dr Jane Goodall, Rosie Stancer, Pen Hadow, Bear Grylls, Mark Beaumont, Tim Peake, Steve Backshall, Vanessa O’Brien, and Levison Wood.

    OUR NEWFOUNDLAND TRIP by Alice Trusty

    OUR NEWFOUNDLAND TRIP by Alice Trusty THE GROUP OF SEVEN from the Saskatchewan Archaeological Society had a wonderful time visiting various sites in Newfoundland and was made up of Ted and Allene Douglas from Eatonia, Wilda O’Brien from North Battleford, Bill and Eleanor Long from Regina and Jack and Alice Trusty from Moose Jaw. July 16, 2007: Jack and Alice landed in St. John's in the evening to find that the airport was being evacuated because of an explosive threat. Unable to get their luggage upon their arrival they had to make a return trip to the airport. Two and one half hours after their landing and $65 poorer (taxi fares to and from airport) they settled into their B&B (Wit's Inn) for a much needed sleep. July 17: In the morning while waiting for the others to fly in, Jack and Alice visited the Rooms which is the provincial museum, art gallery and archives all under one roof. The Rooms pays tribute to the traditional lifestyle of Newfoundland and Labrador. In the afternoon Jack and Alice took a taxi back to the airport. This time they picked up Ted and Allene and the group’s rental van. From the airport they traveled about 30 miles South of St. John's to Holyrood to check into their accommodations at the Beachview Motel and then to the Beachview Restaurant for lunch (great food and a wonderful view of Conception Bay). In the evening Ted and Allene, having taken a late flight out of Saskatoon, had been up over 24 hours so decided to settle into their room while Jack and Alice headed back into St.

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Gros Morne is known for its rugged beauty, majestic fjords, unique geology, exceptional hiking (backcountry and frontcountry) and its local culture. Photo of Gros Morne provided courtesy of the Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Tourism. The human spirit needs places where nature has not been rearranged • by the hand of man. • ~ Author Unknown Telling the Story of Canada Canada’s national parks and national historic sites tell the story of a remarkable country. Each is an experience that celebrates the beauty and infinite variety of one of the world’s most geographically and culturally diverse nations. Protected and preserved for all Canadians and the world, each park and site provides a haven, not only for plants and animals, but also for the human spirit. Whether it’s the sight of Gros Morne’s magnificent fjords, the feel of the marsh breezes at Fort Beauséjour—Fort Cumberland, the taste of the salt air at Prince Edward Island National Park, or the sound of the cannon at the Fortress of Louisbourg, Canada’s national parks and national historic sites stir the emotions. They tell a story of enduring Aboriginal presence, diverse landscapes and wildlife, early settlers and their struggles, fishing, shipbuilding, imperial conflict, nation building and creative genius. Hiking a scenic trail, touring an interpretive exhibit or viewing the vestiges of an ancient settlement, you hear that story—you feel it, you relive it. As you experience Parks Canada’s gateways to nature, history, discovery and adventure, let your senses be your guide.
