Abandoned in the Arctic: Boston Film Premiere June 19, 2008

Harvard Museum of Natural History presents

Cambridge Film Premiere of Abandoned in the Arctic,
A film about the worst Arctic disaster in American history

This documentary tells the harrowing story of Adolphus Greely and his
team of 24 men who set out in 1881 to build an arctic research station.
What began as an ambitious expedition descended into a three-year
journey of starvation, mutiny, and cannibalism, which only six men
survived. The screening will be followed by a discussion with director
Gino Del Guercio; executive producer Dr. Geoffrey Clark, Harvard '60; and James Shedd, great-great-grandson of Adolphus Greeley.

Free and open to the public at
Harvard's Science Center, Hall B, One Oxford Street, Cambridge.
