MIKE THOMPSON, valued Club member and inspirational paddler.
Come & join Mike & Gill Thompson for an educational presentation covering their recent journey to the Falklands, South Georgia & the Antarctic peninsula. Learn about the different types of Penguins, whales, seals & birds seen in the rich seas in these areas, along with scenery from the three locations, including whaling stations on South Georgia & Shackletons & Wilds graves, Point Wild on Elephant Island & Port Lockroy post office & the British Antarctic survey building amongst other sites.
Hear about the biosecurity undertaken to keep the land free from invasive species & how the life cycle works to feed the marine mammals & giant whales who feed in these rich waters.
If time permits, a slide show of highlights from Argentina, Chile & Easter Island (Rapa Nui) to conclude.
Thank you to Mike for sharing their experiences with us.
