‘With a finger on his lips, the sentinel figure of frost and cold

Imposes silence.’

This window , created in the year of their death in Antarctica, commemorates five polar explorers. Cherry-Garrard called their journey the worst journey in the world.
  

Something to do

Walk around the cathedral and think about some of your worst and best journeys.

Remember someone who is on a difficult journey today.

A journey prayer

Bless us God

with saints to tell us stories,

with angels to surprise us,

with friends along the way.

Bless us God,

with strength and joy and courage,

all the length and breadth

of our nights and days.
