Polar Journeys -A Talk by Ben Osborne

Polar Journeys A talk by Ben Osborne Ben Osborne’s new talk, “Polar Journeys”, will take you to the ends of the earth with images and stories from his extensive travels in the polar regions. In the Arctic, we’ll head to Greenland where we travel with huskies, camp on glacial moraines and visit some of the most remote human settlements on the planet. We’ll also visit Svalbard which, at nearly 80 degrees north, is the most northerly inhabited land. This archipelago of islands features dramatic vistas of glaciers and high mountains. Whales and polar bears are highlights of the stunning wildlife. The second half of the talk is centred on the south polar regions and will include the island oasis of South Georgia with its vast penguin and seal colonies. We also visit the Antarctic Peninsula, one of the most scenic regions in Antarctica. Ben has made numerous journeys to both the Arctic and the Antarctic working for National Geographic, the BBC and the British Antarctic Survey. He works as a Polar Guide on small expedition ships. His images have featured in numerous magazines and books; and in 2007 he was the overall winner in the Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition. This talk will be a visual treat and a rare glimpse into some of the least accessible places on earth. Profits from this event will go to the Bishop’s Castle and District Land Trust and SpArC Trust -Theatre Upgrade . We will also have a Raffle and a Licenced Bar.
