Pole to Pole

Presentation | Karnataka Chitrakala Parishath |10 August @ 3 pm

Slideshow and talk by Dr Ajit Huilgol

On the occasion of World Photography Day celebrations, we bring to you an unique presentation from the North and South Poles of our world! 

Dr Ajit Huilgol has been one of the fortunate few to have visited both the Antarctic (twice!), and the Arctic. These are some of the remotest, coldest, costliest, and most challenging trips that one can undertake. 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. So, come and join in an adventure of a lifetime. You won’t regret it!
