He shall be taking us with him on a virtual tour of these places, showing us some stunning images of the landscapes, and of the various birds and mammals that inhabit these remote areas of the world. He will talk about some of the similarities of these polar adventures, and of the many dissimilarities as well.  We will also learn about how to get there, of the hardships of life on a ship, and the challenges of photographing from a zodiac. The presentation will also include details of the cost involved, the number of days that you will need to spend there, and on how to get to these far-flung places.
