T10 ANTARCTICA AN ARMCHAIR EXPEDITION TO THE ROSS SEA AND BACK


Tutor: Leeanne Hart
Have you ever dreamed about visiting Antarctica? Or wanted to know more about the heroic explorers and their often tragic tales? Are you interested in understanding how tourism, climate change and the Antarctic Treaty affects this pristine environment? Perhaps it is the unique penguins, whales and seals of this continent that grabs your attention. Or the Ross Ice Shelf which is 600 kms long. Come along to this "armchair expedition" where you'll find out information about each of these things (and more) supported by photos and videos taken while I was there.

Monday 11.00am - 12.30pm. Classes start 14 July, finish 15 September.
