Proposals for Antarctica

Between 1st and 30th November2019, Peter Liversidge typed and mailed 60 proposals to the UK Antarctic Heritage Trust as part of a commission for Antarctica In Sight, to mark the 200th anniversary of the discovery of Antarctica in 2020.

The group of 60 proposals range from the possible to the impossible, from creating a series of full-sized Easter Island heads from snow gathered on Port Lockroy; raising a flag in Antarctica that reads only ‘Hello”;  to asking 200 schools around the United Kingdom to collaborate on a series of watercolours of iceberg, painted using iceberg water, gathered in Antarctica.

Here we bring all 60 proposals together in one specially-commissioned book.
