J.M. Scott
The man who probably best typifies modern Arctic exploration is Gino Watkins, who was drowned in the North in 1933. The last two expeditions he led in Greenland are the subject of tonight's talk. J.M. Scott had already travelled with Watkins in Labrador before accompanying him to Greenland, and in addition to the reputation he gained there as a traveller he is now well known as a chronicler of the Arctic.
