Louth science communicator, writer, engineer, and performer Dr Niamh Shaw is travelling to the Arctic Circle this month to retrace and research the tale of Ireland's Arctic Fox, Sir Leopold McClintock.
Leopold McClintock, known as the Arctic Fox, was born in Dundalk in 1819 and achieved fame as an Arctic explorer who discovered the fate of Sir John Franklin's failed 1845 expedition in search of the North West Passage.
