## Why go

Hosts weekly lectures and other gatherings, many of which are free to attend to any member of the public. The RGS has funded many British expeditions over the years and displays at its northeastern corner statues of two of its best-known explorers: Dr David Livingstone, who hoped to end the East African slave trade by finding the source of the Nile; Sir Ernest Shackleton, who led the "worst journey in the world" across the Southern Ocean to rescue his stricken crew trapped in the Antarctic sea ice. Both men died on the expedition.
