Stories and Lessons from an Antarctic Adventure // John Guider

Follow John's Talk with his photo presentation. In December 2018, John Guider boarded the 100-year-old, 3 masted sailing vessel Bark Europa as part of the volunteer crew and sailed over 2400 nautical miles to the frigid waters of Antarctica. The Europa was able to access remote bays, too small for the larger cruise ships and enabled landings to view the nesting grounds of the Continent's unique summer inhabitants. Many of the species are in danger of extinction due to the effects of climate change. In this episode, we hear stories from his journey crossing the famed Drake Passage and connect how our actions in relation to the environment can affect the landscape and well being of its wildlife halfway around the word.
