About the Presenter
Dr. Susana Hancock was first inspired to be a polar scientist growing up on Casco Bay. In the summer, she’d visit Admiral Peary’s summer house on Eagle Island and hear stories about fellow Freeporter, Donald MacMillan. This past year, she joined five men to recreate an ill-fated North Pole expedition from 150 years ago, nearly 40 years before Peary and MacMillan’s 1909 famous expedition.
