The Royal Irish Academy Library is hosting a lunchtime lecture to commemorate the 100 year anniversary of Cynthia Longfield's adventure on the St George Expedition.

On 9 April 1924, Cynthia Longfield set out on the St George Expedition travelling across the Atlantic and around the South Sea Islands. To talk about this voyage of discovery, Dr Angela Byrne will give a lunchtime lecture entitled Cynthia Longfield and the St George expedition of 1924: the making of an entomologist.
