Travel Lecture-JAN.12TH, 2015
We are excited to present a slide program on the Antarctic as part of our travel lecture series on Monday, Jan. 12,2015 at McAuley H.S. Auditorium on Stevens Ave. at 7:30 PM.
In February, 2014, Peter Plumb and seven friends chartered a 75’ sailboat, and, with a captain and cook, sailed it from the Beagle Channel, in southern Chile, via Cape Horn to the Antarctica Peninsula. The trip south took about five days. Once there they cruised the West coast of the peninsula, getting almost as far south as the Antarctic Circle. The sail home, again via Cape Horn, took six days. The voyage included astonishing vistas of the frozen continent and its fringing islands, visits to isolated research stations, parades of icebergs and plenty of wildlife including thousands and thousands of penguins. From cold Antarctic sunshine to a violent blizzard, this trip had something of everything.
Peter Plumb will be in hand to narrate and answer questions. Refreshments will be served and all are welcome.
