Boston Film Premiere of Abandoned in the Arctic- a film about the worst Arctic disaster in American history
Thursday, June 19, 7:00 pm
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

The Science Center is just a short walk 5-6 minutes from the Harvard Square T stop. Cross Harvard Yard, going left at the John Harvard statue and out the far gate.. and the Science center is the gray stone building, modern, behind the spray fountain..at the corner of Kirkland and Oxford Street, next to Sanders Theatre.
