Inside the National Maritime Museum in Maritime Greenwich, we explore the extensive polar exhibition, in which sound plays a major part. In this recording we hear a description of some of the traditional ways of life of the Inuits, and later, a verbal description of life as a polar researcher. These video installations bring to life the maritime world at the heart of the wider heritage site.
