Sylvie Admore - Climbing in Antarctica - March Meeting

  • The Dominion 234 Dominion Road Auckland, Auckland, 1024 New Zealand (map)

If you have ever seen a documentary on Antarctica you have no doubt wondered: how do I get there? Since returning in February to New Zealand from a climbing trip to the Antarctic Peninsula I have been wondering: how do I get back?

The endlessly glaciated peaks and valleys, the inky ocean teeming with wildlife, these are what make the Antarctic Peninsula a climbing destination like no other. I was fortunate enough to have been selected as a member of the New Zealand Antarctic Heritage Trust's Inspiring Explorers Team in 2017. At the March meeting I'll be talking about our ascent of Mt Scott and the diverse possibilities for adventure presented by the Antarctic Peninsula
