Penguins, Polar Bears, Peaks, and Parks: Bio-Geographical Journeys to the Earth’s Four Poles in One Year T uesday, October 15th at 6pm
It has become fashionable in the last few years to scale the seven highest peaks on each continent or walk across a continent or visit every country in the world. In this vein, our speaker, Dr Richard Benfield took four journeys in 2023 to the four geographic poles: North Pole, South Pole and the other two. Other two? Where are they? In this one- hour presentation we will focus on the four poles and the animals and people who live there: their landscapes, their livelihoods and their flora and fauna. Our presentation will show that even you can go there (though one of the poles is somewhat challenging) and take you into geographical worlds where few venture … and you will also learn for your next trivia contest where the other two poles are located on earth! |
