WHAT: A Terrible Beauty: Edward Wilson in Antarctica 1902-12

Now, to mark the centenary of the departure of the Terra Nova expedition, Brantwood House, the former Lake District home of John Ruskin, is hosting an exhibition of his most evocative works.
WHERE: Brantwood, CONISTON, Cumbria, LA21 8AD
PRICE AND INFO: Entrance to the house and exhibition costs £6.30 for adults, £5 for students and £1.35 for children under 16. For more information call 015394 41396 or take a look at Brantwood's website
WHEN: 12-14 April
WHAT: Boundary Dispute Resolution course
International boundaries continue to be a major source of friction between neighbouring states. Many land boundaries remain poorly defined and fewer than half of the world's potential maritime boundaries have even been partially agreed. Governments recognise the value of clearly-defined boundaries, yet the political, economic and social complexities of boundary regions often make resolving competing territorial and jurisdictional claims extraordinarily difficult. Led by experienced boundary negotiators, technical experts and legal advisors, this workshop will provide advice and practical guidance on how to resolve international boundary disputes.
WHERE: Durham University, DURHAM, County Durham
PRICE AND INFO: places cost £1650 (including accommodation and all meals). For more information visit the IBRU website
