When lead climbers George Mallory and Andrew Irvine mysteriously disappeared on the mountain the 1924 Mount Everest Expedition passed into legend. \nStephen Livingstone uses Beetham’s own words and photographs to tell the story of this remarkable expedition\, from India across the high Tibetan plateau to within striking distance of the summit of Everest. \nStephen Livingstone is an artist whose work principally deals with human impact upon landscapes and habitats. He recently curated Eternal Ascent\, a highly successful exhibition for Durham University’s Oriental Museum documenting the 1924 Mount Everest expedition in more than two hundred photographs selected from the university’s Bentley Beetham Collection. \nAccessibility \nThe NHSN Council Room is fully accessible via the lift at the back of the museum. \nPart of the Tuesdays @ ‘The Hancock’ series. \nJoin us on Tuesday evenings for talks and events exploring the stories behind natural history.
